I have several issues with this film, but I’ve restricted myself to highlighting three significant shortcomings: The way land acquisition by Jews is portrayed is completely inaccurate; any land they owned was purchased, not “transferred” through actions of the British administration. A notable figure, Hajj Amin al-Husseini, is entirely absent from the narrative. There’s a near total lack of representation for the approximately 400,000 Jews who resided in Mandate Palestine in 1936; I'm not using that term figuratively—Jewish characters have only two lines of dialogue across the entire film’s length. This last point is perhaps the most obvious failing. Eight minutes into the movie, during a ceremony marking the opening of the Palestine Broadcasting Corporation, Arthur Wauchope, the High Commissioner for Palestine and portrayed by Jeremy Irons, prompts an unidentified person in a false beard to announce “Kol Yerushalayim” (“The Voice of Jerusalem”), followed by an unnamed Arab dignitary delivering the equivalent phrase "Iza’at al-Quds.” Later, Jewish immigrants are visible in the background, silently working behind a kibbutz wall and appearing noticeably lighter-skinned. And that's all there is. It’s a glaring omission. After all, this film depicts an Arab uprising against Jews, yet the latter seem to be deliberately minimized because it appears the filmmaker would prefer they weren’t present. But wishing something away doesn’t alter reality. Here’s the promotional poster for audiences in the Arab world. Alongside Irons, you'll recognize Liam Cunningham (Davos Seaworth from Game of Thrones) and Robert Aramayo (a younger Eddard Stark in the same series). What is missing is a single Jewish character—they seem to have been erased by the filmmaker’s desires. There are aspects of the film worthy of praise. Archival footage has been skillfully restored, colorized, and incorporated. There are some amusing moments as well, such as an Arab child introducing a British visitor to his family's donkey with the name "Balfour – Lord Balfour.” Several of the Arab actors—many of whom are Israeli citizens—give powerful performances. However, when considered as a historical work, it’s deeply flawed. We shouldn’t necessarily expect anything different from Qatar or Turkey, which are major state sponsors (along with Iran) of Hamas. But I do believe we can and should hold higher standards for the BFI and BBC, or even for the Oscars.
