Nadav Schirman’s documentary The Green Prince recounts the story of the collaboration between Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a Hamas leader, and Gonen Ben Yitzhak, a member of the Israeli security agency Shin Bet. Yitzhak was Yousef’s hanlder. Mosab Hassan Yousef spied on Hamas for the Israelis for a decade. Film contributor Milos Stehlik and director Nadav Schirman joins us to discuss the film. The Green Prince opens today at the Music Box Theatre.
