POWERFUL DRAMA FROM ISRAEL
Dark, gripping and morally complex, the award-winning new Israeli TV series Your Honor tells the story of a high-powered judge (Yoram Hattab, Nina’s Tragedies, Kadosh), that is forced to make tough decisions in order to protect his son, who is involved in a hit-and-run accident in which a man is killed. When the identity of the victim is revealed, it sends the judge and his family reeling. This powerful drama from the writer of popular Israeli TV shows Arab Labor and A Touch Away shows even the most honorable men will bend in the face of danger. Your Honor was picked up for a U.S. remake on Showtime from the creators of Criminal Justice and The Good Wife. (2 episodes, 52 mins)

AWARD-WINNING TV FROM GERMANY
Starring German star Julia Jentsch (24 Weeks, Sophie Scholl: The Final Days) and directed by Hans-Christian Schmid (2006 Chicago International Film Festival winner, Requiem), The Vanishing follows Michelle, a resolute single mother on a mission to find her missing daughter, who disappeared one night in their small town along the German-Czech border. Uncovering a web of secrets and lies, kept under a tight lid by the whole community, Michelle is increasingly horrified by what she finds out about her daughter–and herself. Called “nothing short of a sensation” and “a tremendous achievement” by one of Germany’s largest newspapers (Sueddeutsche Zeitung), The Vanishing also won awards for best script and best actress at the recent German Television Awards. (44 minutes)
