About the film:

Sabena Hijacking – My Version is a compelling new film that vividly shows the 1972 hijacking of Sabena Airlines flight 571 from Vienna to Tel Aviv. The docu-drama uses interviews, archive material, and dramatic reenactments to tell the story of the hijacking, the tense negotiations that followed, and the storming of the plane and rescue by a special military unit.

Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former prime ministers Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres all played key roles in this historic event and share their reflections on film. Therese Halsa, one of the four hijackers, also gives her version of the events.

PON’s screening will be the North American university premiere for Sabena Hijacking – My Version.
