The Green Prince, a documentary film by Israeli director Nadav Schirman, probes the stranger-than-fiction life of Mosab Hassan Yousef, the son of a top leader in Hamas, the militant Islamic Resistance Movement, who became an important informant for Israel over a span of 10 years.
The film opens Sept. 19 at the Edina Cinema, 3911 W. 50th St.
Regarded as a traitor by his compatriots, Yousef — dubbed “Green Prince” by the Israelis — somehow survived and forged a lasting bond with his Israeli handler, Ben Yitzhak, an agent for Shin Bet, Israel’s domestic security service
The film is based on Yousef’s memoir, Son of Hamas.
