Doc NYC Film Festival To Screen Two Israeli Films

Kings of Capitol Hill by Mor Loushy and 'Til Kingdom Comes by Maya Zinshtein in

Two Israeli films are included in Doc NYC Virtual Film Festival: Kings of Capitol Hill by Mor Loushy and 'Til Kingdom Comes by Maya Zinshtein.

Kings of Capitol Hill
Filmmaker Mor Loushy (Censored Voices) examines the powerful pro-Israeli lobby AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), known for bipartisan loyalty in Washington, DC. Throughout its 60-year history, AIPAC has thrived on maintaining order in its ranks, but Loushy gains interviews with disaffected insiders who have deep-seated reservations about the policy-making under Prime Minister Netanyahu and President Trump. Kings of Capitol Hill is an eye-opening look at how political influence can be won and lost.

Til Kingdom Comes
In this provocative look at strange political bedfellows, Israeli filmmaker Maya Zinshtein (Forever Pure, DOC NYC 2016) investigates the political alliance between American evangelicals and Israel’s right-wing, and their influence on the Trump administration’s foreign policy. Why do American church leaders encourage parishioners to make donations to Israel, even from poor communities? Because they believe Israel’s expansion will play a key role in end-times prophecy, when Christians will be saved and others - including Jews -will perish.
