Actor Gal Gadot is teaming up with Keshet International for a big screen adaptation of the controversial novel Borderlife , about a romance between a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian man.
The Wonder Woman- star is backing the film with her husband Jaron Varsano through their Pilot Wave production banner in partnership with U.S.-based Keshet Studios, reported Deadline.
Known in English as All the Rivers , the international bestselling novel from Israeli author Dorit Rabinian was published in 2014.
The plot follows the story of a Jewish woman and Palestinian man who meet in New York and fall in love.
Israel’s education ministry banned the book from high school reading lists because of its depiction of a cross-cultural romance. The decision sparked protests and the novel was later allowed in advanced literature classes.
