TEHRAN (AIPFF) – Venispa & Imafilm productions bring to the 3rd edition of the Ammar International Popular Film Festival the controversial documentary “Plan Andinia”.

The film explores how in Patagonia, a region of breath-taking beauty and vast natural resources in the south of Argentina and Chile, some people believe a new Jewish state could be created. Those who believe that the writings of Theodor Herzl, the founder of modern Zionism, have been distorted reject this theory. In his book The Jewish State, published in 1897 Herzl talks about the need to create a nation for Jews, and talked about two possible sites: Argentina and Palestine.

This fascinating documentary filmed in Patagonia, speaks to important representatives of the Jewish community as well as critics of Zionism in both south american nations . Plan Andinia poses an important question: Is the creation of a Jewish state in Patagonia a conspiracy theory or a real possibility?

Ammar Popular Film Festival has received various film from foreign prominent filmmakers this year.
