Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

A slice of ill-disguised (and painfully dull) Zionist propaganda masquerading as a thriller about an idealistic American archaeology student (Davison) caught in the Arab-Israeli crossfire. Set in Jerusalem after the Six Day War, it purports to be on the side of peace and love, but in fact depicts all the violence as coming from various unspecified Arab groups, while the benevolent Israelis try to stop them fighting each other.
