13 Days

In post WWII Palestine, battle lines are being drawn. John Craig is a young British soldier with the Royal Engineers and as the British Empire leave the region, Craig finds he has a brief window of access to vast stocks of surplus British ammunition. Having witnessed the aftermath of a horrendous massacre, Craig is deeply affected by what happened to the people he witnessed murdered. He decides to run surplus British guns to a unit of the Haganah, in what he calls an effort to ‘even things out.’ But then Craig meets Ola. Ola has come from Montreal to join convoys of Yehudi fighters running supplies up the Bab El-Wad to Jerusalem, which is under siege. She is among thousands of Jewish Immigrants from all over the world who have flocked to Palestine after WW II to build a new nation in the land that will soon be proclaimed ‘Israel’ by the newly formed United Nations. Craig can’t help but fall for Ola, who is beautiful and courageous. He wants them to escape together. But for Ola, fighting for the state of Israel is more important than life itself.
