Q&A with filmmaker Nadav Schirman.
This real-life thriller tells the story of one of Israel’s most prized intelligence sources: the son of top Hamas leader Sheikh Hassan Youssef, Mosab Hassan Youssef. For over a decade Mosab—code name: “The Green Prince”—was the number one source for the Shin Bet, Israel’s secret security service. Recruited at 17, he spied for his former enemy in the heart of his father’s organization. His Shin Bet handler, Gonen Ben Yitzhak, risked everything—including treason—to save him.
