Touchdown Israel! screened at the 2014 Boston Jewish Film Festival on November 15th. League president Steve Leibowitz and Jerusalem Lions coach Yonah Mishaan, who appear in the film were in attendance. Congratulations to director Paul Hirschberger for all the great press the film is garnering, such as this from the Boston Globe’s Peter Keough:

“Be that as it may, the playoffs and final showdown in the Israel Bowl may be as exciting as an NFL game, largely because Hirschberger has drawn the viewer into the players’ lives and into their sense of team spirit. When it comes to the team, politics and religion don’t matter. Could this be a key to peace in the Middle East?”
