Overview

Wolves That Do Not Eat Meat is an Arabic film that traces the moral unraveling of Anwar S., a left-wing war correspondent who covers massacres in Deir Yassin in Palestine, Korea, and Vietnam. Broken by the atrocities he witnesses against innocent and defenseless people, Anwar consciously chooses to become a criminal and killer, turning his rage against a society he sees as the engine of endless suffering. With an intentionally enigmatic style and an unconventional narrative frame, the film draws comparisons to American noir and the work of directors like Quentin Tarantino and Oliver Stone. A bold, angry statement about violence, complicity, and the limits of bearing witness.
