Waking LionsAfter an exhausting night shift, Dr Eitan Green leaves the hospital, gets into his luxurious SUV and speeds down a deserted, moonlit Negev road.
Then, suddenly, he hits someone. He is horrified to discover that the injured man – an African migrant – has no chance of surviving. Eitan flees the scene.
The victim’s beautiful widow knows everything. But when she turns up unannounced at Eitan’s door, intent on blackmail, it isn’t money she’s after, but something quite different… something which will completely shatter Eitan’s comfortable world.
At a time when heart-breaking stories of refugees dominate the news, Waking Lions takes an unrelenting look at the darkest corners of Israeli society and of the human soul; at the complexities of displacement and the fear of estrangement.
To get involved, please log in and enter your details below by 15 February.
