Bruce says: “Hany Abu-hassad would seem an unlikely director of a biopic.  His earlier films, RANA’S WEDDING, PARADISE NOW, and OMAR have documented the effects of Israeli enforced apartheid on the Palestinian community.  While THE IDOL has many of those elements, it is a joyous celebration of Mohammed Assaf, a young boy with exceptional talent who manages, against all odds, to escape from Gaza and win the Arab Idol contest.  The ensemble cast is outstanding.  4 cats
