Directed by Alexandre Arcady France | 2014 | 108 minutes | French with subtitles | Drama Based on the book 24 Jours: la vérité sur la mort d'Ilan Halimi (24 Days: The Truth about the Death of Ilan Halimi) by Ruth Halimi and Emilie Frèche.
24 Days offers a gripping and carefully-plotted thriller that tells the true story of the kidnapping of Ilan Halimi in a Paris suburb by The Gang of Barbarians, who expect a huge ransom as they assume that all Jews have money. Based on the book by Ilan's mother Ruth, Arcady's film follows the police as they try to keep one step ahead of the kidnappers. The film compassionately presents a family under the immense pressure of possibly losing their son." wrenching and politically astute" Screen Daily
