Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Israeli television series wins Best Series at the first ever Canneseries festival.
“When Heroes Fly” is the story of four veterans of a special commando unit from the 2006 Lebanon war who reunite for a final mission, to rescue the girlfriend of one of the commandos who was abducted by a cartel in Colombia.
The show had its world premiere earlier this week at the festival, and has not yet been screened in Israel, according to Variety.
It was created by writer and director Omri Givron, co-creator of the Israeli show “Hostages” and based on a book by Amir Gutfreund. It stars Tomer Kapon, known for his role in “Fauda,” Ninet Tayeb and Moshe Ashkenazi.
Kapon accepted the award at the festival.
