 FrontPage magazine.com :: A Filmmaker for Israel by Michael Margolies
The recipient of that award was the documentary film maker, Pierre Rehov, an Algerian-born French Jew, who won the Audience Choice People’s Award for his film “Fighting Shadows.” Certainly it wasn’t a surplus of pro-Israel sentiment that earned Rehov the distinction.
Rehov marshaled such compelling evidence against “Jenin Jenin” that his research and film were even used to support a successful lawsuit in the Israeli Supreme Court brought by five IDF reservists against Bakri.
Rehov’s decision to combine the two films into one for festivals was an inspired idea, if only to put side by side the story of how one country accepted its brethren, Israel, and 22 countries, sometimes referred to as the Arab Nation, rejected theirs.

Unlike the novel, though, Preminger's film is limited by the constraints of running time (the film also exists in an extended 220-minute print).
With a screenplay that shamelessly plays each scene for maximum sentimentality, Exodus also makes some questionable over-simplifications in its attempt to deliver a poignant, one-dimensional piece of cinematic propaganda (the Arabs, for instance, are apparently being manipulated by ex-Nazi villains who take great pride in their "experience of handling Jews").
Portentous, bombastic and overlong, Preminger's film sacrifices objectivity for simplicity in its eagerness to justify the Zionist cause.
