The Collaborator and His Family (2011)
outstanding work
I've seen many docs this year but this one stayed with me. Their previous work The Garden, which I adore is remarkable , but I think this one is even stronger, with it's unique look on the middle eastern conflict and the strength of the human spirit. The film tells the story of a collaborator from Palestine who collaborated with the Israeli secret service while he abandon his identity and chose to betray his own people , but he was also betrayed by the Israelis whom he worked for. the film deals with the consequences of constant war and how it creates new society through the look on the next generation- the children of the collaborator . The directors manage to show an intimate, cleaver story with unbelievable excess. Beautifully shot and edited . Highly recommended!!!
