UPCOMING PROJECTS
Cohen hanged in Syria
Lior recently completed the script Alone In Damascus, based on the true story of Israeli spy Eli Cohen. Planted by the Mossad in the Syrian capital, Cohen built close ties with Syrian leaders including President Amin El-Hafez, almost rising to the ranks of Syrian Defense Minister, circa 1960's, before being captured and killed in a public execution.
The project is produced by Eric Eisner and his Double E Pictures who acquired the rights to the Israeli published book Alone In Damascus, recounting the spy's true story.
