Anti-Israel film to be screened in Cairo
(Video) Turkish film about IDF raid on Marmara ship reaches Egypt. Distributor says screening scheduled to coincide with Holocaust Remembrance Day events in Poland
VIDEO - A special screening of an anti-Israel Turkish film is scheduled to take place in Cairo under the auspices of the Turkish ambassador on Saturday.
"Valley of the Wolves – Palestine" tells the story of the IDF raid on the Gaza-bound Mavi Marmara last May and has already prompted massive criticism in Israel.
The plot focuses on a group of Turkish commando combatants which was ordered to eliminate a senior IDF officer who the film suggests gave the order "to murder Marmara passengers."
The film's last scene shows IDF soldiers with the bodies of nine Marmara passengers.
On May 31, 2010 a Navy force raided the Marmara ship which had broken the naval blockade on the Gaza Strip. Nine passengers were killed in clashes between the soldiers and IHH terrorists.
The film's Egyptian distributor, Adel Adib, said that the special screening was set for a date ahead of the March of the Living in Poland marking the Holocaust Remembrance Day. The march is set to take place on May 2.
The Turkish film will be screened in 10 movie theatres across Egypt after the festive premier.
