Full Plot Details

Welterweight boxer Johar Abu Lashin is a man torn by contradictions. Palestinian by birth, Israeli by circumstance and American by choice, Lasheen has hopes of healing Arab-Israeli enmity through the power of sport. In this award-winning documentary, filmmaker Duki Dror follows the young champion as he defends his title in bouts in Nazareth and Gaza. Lasheen is a man in constant battle with himself, Dror observes; "The only place where he truly feels whole, or at home, is in the ring." Alas, in the Middle East, politics never takes a time out.

Movie Reviews

New York Post - 8/10 by Russell Scott SmithThen everything went wrong, thanks to Middle East politics -- as the moving documentary Raging Dove shows.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by Fred CamperI'm no boxing fan, but there's something admirable about fighter Johar Abu Lashin's love of his sport, chronicled in Duki Dror's tautly constructed 2002 documentary.
New York Times - 6/10 by Ned MartelThis bruising but illuminating documentary considers how nationalism flattened one young, sure-footed boxer.
Film Threat - 6/10 by Merle BertrandIn a sense, Raging Dove serves as an entirely unintentional, I'm sure, metaphor for peace prospects in his homeland.
The A.V. Club - 5/10 by Nathan RabinIn the frustrating, underachieving documentary Raging Dove, the filmmakers seem to get shut down every time the film threatens to become interesting.
Village Voice - 4/10 by Joshua LandRaging Dove can't avoid the biodoc pitfall of fixating on its subject's personal saga to the virtual exclusion of all else; by the end it's essentially blaming the Israeli-Palestinian conflict for Abu Lashin's professional demise.
