APOLLONIA
Written and Directed by Ofi Trainin (2014)
Victor Grayevsky entered the pantheon of Israeli intelligence thanks to a single courageous and heroic action. While a journalist in Poland and at great personal risk, Grayevsky transferred to the West a secret document – the speech of Nikita Khrushchev, which first revealed Stalin’s crimes. Just prior to his death in 2007 it turned out that Grayevsky has kept another secret – alongside his day job on the Voice of Israel radio station, he secretly worked as a spy, seemingly in the service of the Soviet Union but, in fact, for Israel.
Apollonia follows the story of the man and spy and tries to make sense of a number of questions arising from his story and mysterious character.
