Advocate

Competition - Creative Documentaries

For half a century, Israeli lawyer Leah Tsemel has indiscriminately defended the cause of Palestinians, be they feminists or fundamentalists, pacifists or armed combatants. Presented at the last Sundance film festival, Advocate brilliantly portrays a committed, powerful and determined figure who fearlessly thwarts pressures and threats to her life.
