Raging Dove
NEW DOCS
“I’m a believer, I’m a dreamer, I’m a fighter.” —Johar Abu-Lashin. What does boxing’s World Lightweight Champion do when no one will fight him? Johar Abu-Lashin, an Israeli-born Palestinian, is a rising star who unintentionally takes a political misstep that ultimately costs him his title. Raging Dove follows his return from the United States to his homeland where Johar attempts to resurrect his career. Naively placing it in the hands of Palestinian authorities, he faces a rude awakening. A moving drama about international politics, boxing and innocence lost. NEN
