False Flag<br />

(KFULIM)<br />

“False Flag has a touch of Homeland about it… the next big<br />

Israeli drama” — C21 Hot Picks for MIPCOM 2015<br />

Waking up one morning to discover their passports smeared<br />

across television screens around the world, five ordinary Israeli<br />

citizens are plunged into a gripping international espionage<br />

affair. The five soon discover they have been implicated as prime<br />

suspects in a high-profile and brutal kidnapping—that of Iranian<br />

Minister of Defense, Farhead Sulimani, during his recent visit<br />

to Moscow.<br />

Inspired by the 2010 assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai,<br />

False Flag—which has already been acquired for a US remake—<br />

immerses the viewer in the suspect world of spying and doubleagents,<br />

with a tension that manages to retain a degree of irony,<br />

all performed with incredible virtuosity. Premiering at the Berlin<br />

International Film Festival, this subversive thriller series won the<br />

Audience Award at France’s Series Mania Festival.<br />
