Deep dives

Realism in TV and Cinema

The show aims to portray the Israeli-Palestinian conflict objectively and realistically. While some aspects of the show, such as the fighting scenes, strive for realism, there is still a need for stylization and artifice in order to create engaging and impactful television. The choreography of fight scenes, for example, should make them look efficient and visually appealing, even if it may not accurately represent real-life violence. The goal is to strike a balance between authenticity and creating a compelling viewing experience.
