DocuDrama
This engrossing hybrid docudrama interweaves never-before-seen archival material and riveting re-enactments to tell the story of Kochava Levy, the forgotten heroine of the deadly 1975 Savoy Hotel terror attack in Tel Aviv. Levy, a young woman of Yemini descent, was one of the hostages being held by the PLO gunmen on that fateful March 1975 night. Her fluency in Arabic allowed her to serve as mediator between IDF negotiators and the terrorists. Over the course of one night, she transformed herself into a fearless heroine. However, by dawn, she was left with nothing but shame.
