This powerful new documentary examines why nations struggle to acknowledge the problematic aspects of their own history.

In the late 1990s, Israeli scholar Teddy Katz began researching the massacre of Palestinians that allegedly occurred in the seaside village of Tantura in 1948. Although attacked and discredited by fellow Israelis, Katz’s research endures in this intense and provocative documentary. Tantura investigates Katz’s research and includes interviews with elderly Israeli ex-soldiers and Palestinian residents to uncover what happened and the enormous efforts to keep that information buried. Winner of the Best Research Award at the 2022 Docaviv Film Festival. In Hebrew with English subtitles. (95 mins., DCP)

"Tantura is far from the last word on the subject. It’s more like the salvo blast that, for Israel, raises the stakes of truth."
