Based on the true facts of an operation carried out by Mossad agents to rescue as many Ethiopian Jews as possible from persecution and death in Ethiopia in the late 70's and early 80's.
To this end, they create a facade hotel in sudan. The film is well done in a very genuine way, but developing strong characters to avoid being just documentary. It has a lot of suspense, drama and even humor as only a story based on real events can. The only negative aspect that I point out is an excessive caricature of the Ethiopian rebel forces, it's not that I doubt the atrocities they committed, but dehumanizing them and characterizing them almost as if they were cartoon villains is not understanding the conflict and its consequences and motivations. The world is not divided in good and bad,it´s only black or white. And in that aspect it fails, a pity because in the rest it seems to me to be very realistic.
I recommend.
