Review by Victoria Angelique:

The topic of Israel and Gaza is usually a heated conversation filled with internal biases, but the documentary THE PROPHET, shows the truth in a deep dive of history and current events that goes beyond the propaganda. Erez Eshel is a name many people have heard, perhaps not favorably, and this is an opportunity to hear from him as he takes a reporter behind the scenes.

History of this region is ancient, going back to Biblical times, and extending into modern day conflicts. Israel has been turned into the villains throughout the Western world, but the question this documentary poses is if that is actually the truth or if that has been fabricated. This is a story many might not like, as it will challenge preconceived notions, but it is essential for everyone to watch it to get both sides of the story.

THE PROPHET might be one of the most powerful documentaries made in quite some time, as it explains the difference between our interpretation of a prophet and what a warrior prophet is, and this is what Erez Eshel happens to be, someone that is trying to prevent a worse situation. He knows what could happen based on the history of conflict between Israel and Palestine. It’s something he’s already lived as a soldier and colonel fighting for his country, when in 2005 all the Jews were expelled from the Gaza Strip. 

The documentary shows footage of trucks of food going into Gaza, with a Palestinian man confirming the contents aboard. The Israeli soldiers go into detail about what is truly happening in Gaza, making it clear that the propaganda should be questioned. Israel is worried that if they fall, then the rest of the Western World might not be too far behind simply because they recognize the patterns happening across the globe from their own history.

If anyone would watch any documentary this year, it should be this one. THE PROPHET is perhaps one that will make anyone think. If it isn’t already, this should be an award winning documentary that should be shown to every government hall and every university across the globe.
