Nool
Based on a true event, Nool is a young Macaque new to life in an Israeli zoo at the height of a military conflict. One night, mesmerized by the orange glow of rockets painting the night sky, the curious monkey slips out of her cage for a better view, oblivious that the lights are dangerous war missiles. On the high branches of a tree she spots one flying towards her and in one fateful moment her life changes forever.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: What seems at first to be a simple story of a monkey in a zoo actually creatively reveals the physical and psychological impact on civilian victims of war.
