Shoshana

Shoshana (2024) is a historical drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Michael Winterbottom and pulled from a true, largely forgotten chapter of 1930s Palestine.

In late-1930s Tel Aviv, with British authority over the territory growing shakier by the month, journalist Shoshana falls for Tom Wilkin, an officer in the British police. Their relationship sits right on the fault line splitting the city in two. Wilkin's hard-edged colleague Geoffrey Morton is hunting Avraham Stern — a poet turned militant who will sanction any violence for his cause. Nobody gets to stay neutral for long.

Winterbottom rebuilds the collision of private love and a politics that leaves no room for it, with Irina Starshenbaum, Douglas Booth and Harry Melling in the leads. It's built for viewers who like history where every side is convinced it's right and none of them comes out clean. Stream Shoshana (2024) online on iFILM.
