False Flag on Fox

A covert operation designed to appear as if it was carried out by someone else…

A gripping Israeli espionage thriller inspired by the real life assassination of a Hamas leader by Mossad Agents, False Flag is starting Wednesday, 2 August at 21:00 on Fox Africa, DSTV channel 125.  This 8 part thriller and spy foreign language series was created by Amit Cohen and Maria Feldman, and directed by Oded Ruskin.  The cast includes Ishai Golan, Magi Azarzar, Angel Bonanni, Ania Bukstein and Orna Salinger, with English subtitles over the Hebrew soundtrack.

False Flag received critical acclaim upon its release in Israel, creating widespread international attention. The series has received several accolades and won awards around the world, including at the Berlinale Special Selection, and was the grand prize winner at Series Mania. False Flag was also nominated for Best Non English Speaking Drama at the C21 Drama Awards.

This award winning Israeli Spy thriller is inelegant and authentic, from some of the team behind “Homeland.” It is a relatable story told from the view of ordinary people.

Five Israeli citizens find themselves plunged into a gripping international espionage affair overnight. These ordinary people, going about their daily business, wake up one morning to discover that they are implicated in a ruthless kidnapping operation following the disappearance of the Iranian Defence Minister while on a secret visit to Moscow. News bulletins repeatedly flash their names and passport photos on screen, linking them to video footage from the kidnapping. Their attempts at denial, followed laughter, indifference and anger are all in vain. The coverage turns their lives upside down and sweeps them up a storm of publicity and speculation. They are Israel’s new heroes of the day, the subjects of the nation’s curiosity, mockery and admiration – all at the same time.
