Movie Review: THE GREEN PRINCE (2014) A+


A mature and unbiased excellent documentary about the relationship between the Israeli's and Palestinians.  If you want a picture of the real world, see this NETFLIX movie.

From Other Reviewers:  Set against the chaotic backdrop of recent events in the Middle East, THE GREEN PRINCE retraces the details of a highly unprecedented partnership that developed between sworn enemies. In the style of a tense psychological thriller, this extraordinary documentary recounts the true story of the son of a Hamas leader who emerged as one of Israel's prized informants, and the Shin Bet agent who risked his career to protect him.
It’s possibly the most astonishing coup in modern spycraft, the recruitment of the son (Yousef) of a senior leader of a Palestinian resistance organization by Israel’s intelligence agency.
How Shin Bet was able to penetrate the most inner sanctum of Hamas — one of the Jewish state’s fiercest and most determined foes — for more than 10 years due to the collaboration of Mosab Hassan Yousef is a truly incredible tale.
As told mostly through the words of Yousef and his Israeli handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak, it’s a harrowing tale of intrigue and betrayal, but also one of a friendship that survives despite extraordinary circumstances.
