Through the dynamic relationship between a Palestinian spy and his Israeli Shin Bet handler, this film unfolds like a great thriller, each twist and turn more shocking than the last. Most astonishing of all, though, is the fact that it’s true. As a young man in Ramallah, Mosab Hassan Yousef greatly admired his father, an influential leader of Hamas. When arrested and imprisoned for smuggling guns at the age of seventeen, Yousef is recruited by the Israeli security agency and ultimately agrees to become a spy for them. For Gonen Ben-Itzhak, Yousef’s handler, this promising young operative, dubbed the “Green Prince,” presents a rare opportunity for the Shin Bet to infiltrate this powerful Palestinian family. However, conflicted by the decision to betray his father, Yousef has his own ideas about how matters should unfold. The charismatic duo’s dramatic story is recounted through each man’s recollections. No outside vantage points intrude on this intricate plot or on their perspectives. Interviewed separately, their riveting versions of events overlap and conflict, as striking reenactments intensify their tale of trust, betrayal, and unlikely friendship.  ST
