The West Bank Settlers – behind the scenes

Highlight Films has begun the production of West Bank Settlers – behind the scenes, a 90 minutes documentary film following the young generation of the Jewish settlers, known as the Hilltop Youth. During the last week we have filmed with the settlers who are barricaded in the Hebron house, and we will continue to follow their actions throughout the West Bank. For this production, Highlight Films has gained unique, exclusive access to events and locations seldom available for the media to cover. Due to the sensitive nature of the production and the extremity of the footage gathered, we will not be able to release screeners of our footage or specific details about our camera crews and filmmakers involved in this production. We will be able , however, to reveal more details in direct contact with interested co-producers and broadcasters.
West Bank Settlers – behind the scenes is an ongoing production. We work with no deadline and expect to decide upon the production schedule at the beginning of 2009.
If you are interested in co-producing, licensing or taking part in this production, please contact noam@highlight.co.il
