Raging Dove

• 2001 Israeli/Canadian documentary
• Description: Welterweight boxer Johar Abu Lashin is a man torn by contradictions. Palestinian by birth, Israeli by circumstance, and American by choice, Lasheen has hopes of healing Arab-Israeli enmity through the power of sport. In this award-winning documentary, filmmaker Duki Dror follows the young champion as he defends his title in bouts in Nazareth and Gaza. Lasheen is a man in constant battle with himself, Dror observes: "The only place where he truly feels whole, or at home, is in the ring." But, alas, politics never take a time out in the Middle East.
