“Impact of Terror” is a moving documentary about Israeli victims of terror struggling to cope in the aftermath of the Aug. 9, 2001 Sbarro pizzeria bombing in Jerusalem. It effectively maps out the victims’ scars –both physical and emotional – and humanizes the personal struggles of individuals who are often unnamed in news reports and relegated to casualty counts. .

Munich: Operation Bayonet (2006)
52 minutes
Israel, English
Producer: Noam Shalev
Director: Ron Maiberg
Many accounts exist of the Mossad’s operations throughout the Middle East and West Europe. The Israeli Mossad’s operations against the Palestinian Black September terrorist organization following the 1972 massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics was brought to the screen in a much hyped, fictionalized version by Steven Spielberg. (See CAMERA’s Film Review: "Munich") In “Munich: Operation Bayonet,” the real story of the Israeli Mossad's "Bayonet" unit responsible for that operation is exposed, told first-hand by the people involved. The documentary revisits the scenes of the operations with the Mossad agents responsible, and presents the personal accounts of CIA operatives and the surviving Black September members. The film gives an unrivaled and compelling account of Israel’s unprecedented actions.

Zaka: Living With Death (2004)
47 minutes
Israel, English
Producer and Director: Noam Shalev
Two suicide bombers detonate their bombs in a busy shopping area in the center of Tel Aviv. The aftermath is horrific. Enter the ZAKA team. Black plastic bags in hand, they scour the area, intent on finding everything down to the last fingernail. Their mission: To collect every piece of flesh, every scrap of hair, left after a suicide bombing. Always on call, their beepers vibrate seconds after the disaster. They believe in providing the "Chessed Shel Emet" or "true act of kindness"—i.e. a burial for all human remains. They are the ZAKA volunteers. The film follows the ZAKA volunteers in more than two years of suicide bombings in Israel, in their training and when they get the call - to come and take care of the bodies. In February 2004 a group of Zaka volunteers traveled to The Hague with the bombed bus from one of the suicide bombings in Jerusalem.
