GOD’S SLAVE [Esclavo de Dios]

A riveting retelling of the events that led to the 1994 bombing of the AMIA building in Buenos Aires, told through the eyes of an Islamic terrorist and an Israeli special agent. Posing as a doctor, Ahmed has created a stable life in Venezuela with a wife and child, despite knowing his ultimate fate. Meanwhile, disgruntled Mossad agent David is dispatched to Argentina to follow up on a lead and thwart a potential attack. Venezuelan filmmaker and AFI alum Joel Novoa paints a complex portrait of two men on parallel paths of fanaticism in this enthralling political thriller. Special Jury Prize, 2014 Palm Beach Film Festival; Nueva Vision Award, 2014 Santa Barbara Film Festival.
