What to watch: Concerned Citizen
The latest from filmmaker Idan Hague is Concerned Citizen.
Starring Shlomi Betonov and Ariel Wolf, Concerned Citizen gives us the story of Ben – a middle-class, socially-liberal gay man.
Ben and his partner move into a new apartment in a run-down neighbourhood. In an effort to improve the area Ben plants a tree outside his building – a good deed which unwittingly triggers a series of events that result in the brutal arrest of an Eritrean immigrant.
Guilt stricken, and with his vision of himself and society shaken, Ben experiences a crisis that threatens to destroy his relationship and aspirations of fatherhood.
Concerned Citizen is distributed by Peccadillo Pictures
