The Shooting of Thomas Hurndall
Watch TrailerAfter Tom Hurndall is shot in the head in Gaza, his parents Anthony and Jocelyn arrive in Israel wanting to know how it could have happened. They expect sympathy and cooperation from the Israeli authorities, but are instead met with an official explanation that fails to tally with any eye-witness accounts, and a wall of silence. When an Israeli army report attempts to whitewash the incident, the Hurndalls decide the only way to establish the truth is to launch their own investigation into the shooting, a process which brings them face to face with both the Open-Fire regulations of the Israeli army in Gaza, and the soldier who pulled the trigger.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The film constructs its narrative as a legal thriller, where the primary weapons are documents, photographs, and a methodical collection of testimonies. It relies on real events to explore the mechanisms of a system built for self-preservation and the fragile power of parental resolve.
What lingers after the credits is not just bitterness towards bureaucratic machinery, but profound respect for the tenacity with which ordinary people can demand accountability. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Rowan Joffé
