In the LA Weekly, Nancy Updike has a review of an odd, grim film called Atash (Thirst) with less than 50 lines of dialogue that is making waves for the 29-year-old Israeli-Arab director, Tawfik Abu Wael. The Left is complaining there are no depictions of Israeli checkpoints and killing of Palistinians and the Arab right is calling it  Zionist Propaganda. It must be good. The story is of a Palistianian family making charcoal in an abandoned Israeli army outpost in an Israeli ghost town.
