As far as Palestinians are concerned, sheโ€™s more than an attorney, sheโ€™s an ally. ยซAdvocateยป follows Tsemel in real time, including the trial of a 13-year-old boy โ€” her youngest client to date.

Featured Comments/Tips

[Docsbarna] An Israeli lawyer who only defends Palestinians. A history of occupation that lasts fifty years. Widescreen has rarely been used more effectively in a documentary. It is obviously a partial documentary. But it is mainly the portrait of a lawyer who tries to achieve equal rights in an unjust justice system. '"We always lose'". A phrase that describes a lifetime of struggle.
