About Hero of the Jungle
"Hero of the Jungle" is a rare film produced for the Children's Channel during the original production at Beit Lissin in December 1996. The film documents the behind-the-scenes of the play which is now back on stage after 28 years with Tovia Tzafir, Tom Avni, Sasi Keshet, Avi Yaffe, Yossi Toledo, Eli Danker, and Pinny Kidron. Hanoch Rosen directed, Miron Minster composed (Ariel Zilber also contributed), and Ephraim Sidon wrote. Behind the scenes were added to the DVD released in 2013. They are half humorous and half serious.
Directed by נתן גור לוי, Hero of the Jungle leans on a strong ensemble — Tom Avni, Sassi Keshet, Tuvia Tzafir — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1996.

As the front man of the Clash from 1977 onwards, Joe Strummer changed people's lives forever. Four years after his death, his influence reaches out around the world, more strongly now than ever before. In "The Future Is Unwritten", from British film director Julien Temple, Joe Strummer is revealed not just as a legend or musician, but as a true communicator of our times.
