On The Map – JCC Israeli Film Festival
Rialto Cinemas
Tuesday, March 14th, 2017 @ 1:00pm & 7:30pm
Are you ready for a David vs. Goliath Israeli story in English that actually put Israel on the map?
Still demoralized after the 1973 Yom Kippur War, Israel was hungry for a collective, uplifting event. “On The Map”, the fast-moving, emotional and awe-inspiring documentary, recounts the story of how one team from Tel Aviv, no one thought could win, toppled the four-time defending European Champions – the Red Army team CSKA Moscow- brought the first ever European-Cup to Israel and put Israel firmly on the map. The film combines the pulse-pounding action of a high-stakes game with an incendiary political situation at the height of the Cold War, to deliver a film that honors Israeli heroes, mesmerizes fans of the game and captures the spirit of a nation triumphant and victorious against all odds.
Narrated by Bill Walton and featuring Tal Brody; the action doesn’t stop!
