Israel\u2019s largest-budget film to date, inspired by true events surrounding the Egyptian Army\u2019s deadly 1948 raid on the kibbutz Nitzanim, will premiere Friday on Netflix.<\/span><\/p>\n

Directed and written by Avi Nesher, \u201cImage of Victory\u201d is about an Egyptian filmmaker who documents a raid on Nitzanim. When the isolated kibbutz learns of the impending army raid, a young Israeli mother named Mira has to make a difficult decision as war approaches her family\u2019s home.<\/span><\/p>\n

The attack on Nitzanim, in which 33 people were killed and more than 100 kibbutz members and Israeli soldiers taken as prisoners, took place less than a month after Israel\u2019s establishment. Mira Ben Ari became a heroic figure for sending her toddler son away to safety while she stayed behind to fight against the Egyptian forces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMira Ben Ari was a remarkable woman and this is a tribute to her strength and her unflappable individuality,\u201d Nesher said. \u201cShe was a person of uncommon vitality who brought out the best in those around her, and lived life on her own terms\u2026 a truly extraordinary soul.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese young men and women from both sides fall prey to their superiors\u2019 agendas and they are left to bear the true cost of the conflict,\u201d he continued.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cImage of Victory\u201d took home three wins at the 2021 Ophir Awards after receiving 15 nominations. The drama is produced by Ehud Bleiberg (The Band\u2019s Visit\u201d), whose own father was a dairy farmer in the kibbutz, and stars Joy Reiger (\u201cVierges\u201d), Amir Khoury (\u201cFauda\u201d) and Ala Dakka (\u201cFauda\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\n
