Touchdown Israel:Tackle Football in the Holy Land/ Documentary
Director: Paul Hirschberger USA 2014 English 85 minutes
American tackle football was imported to Israel in the late 1980s by foreign-born Israelis who missed the sports passion of their youth. Players persevered with woefully inadequate facilities and an indifferent public until New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft sponsored the Israeli Football League and funded a stadium. In a country where religious and ethnic divisions run impossibly deep, Palestinian, Christian, Thai, secular and Orthodox Jewish weekend warriors leave their differences on the sidelines in the spirit of teamwork and the love of the game. This gritty, irreverent, yet soulful documentary captures the on-field action while profiling the players, teams, and rivalries on the way to Israel Bowl V. Atlanta, Boston, Memphis, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, St. Louis, Washington Jewish Film Festivals
