Trailer

Synopsis

In March 2019, Amos Dov Silver was arrested at a Kiev hotel following a global sting operation. Silver, the creator of the drug-dealing mobile app ‘Telegrass,’ has since been accused by the government of running a criminal organization. However, for thousands of Israelis, Silver is a fearless folk hero, intent on exposing a corrupt and broken system.

Through exclusive footage of Silver, his family, and his partners’ investigations, as well as secretly filmed footage of Silver in a Ukrainian prison, a polarizing portrayal of this man emerges: is he a champion of the people, or a lost soul corrupted by power?
