rofessional athletes aren't
known for their political
sophistication,- but the wel-
terweight boxing champ Johar Abu
Lashin has a definite worldview.
Born in Nazareth, Abu
Lashin has Arab parents,
an Israeli passport, an
American wife and a
Tennessee horse farm. Well, once
upon a time he had all that.
The engaging though superficial
2002 Israeli documentary Raging
Dove introduces Abu Lashin as a
successful boxer and ambitious
entrepreneur. He has it all clicking
-- until he entangles himself in the
quicksand of the Middle East.

fan base. But since most Americans
think "Israeli" means "Jew," Abu
Lashin frequently had to correct
misperceptions.
There were other setbacks. The
boxer asserts that ESPN reneged on
a lucrative promise to sign him for a
televised fight after the network real-
ized he wasn't Jewish.
(Raging Dove was shot
before Sept. 11, and one
can only imagine what sort
of hurdles or anti-Arab hostility
Abu Lashin encountered afterward.)
Filmmaker Duki Dror milks the
culture-clash angle, contrasting the
dark, rangy boxer with the sharp
accent with his Southern wife,
moon-faced manager, down-home
neighbors and mid-America fight
fans.

Johar Abu Lashin, as featured in Duki Dror's "Raging Dove"
Raging Dove receives its U.S. tele-
vision premiere 9 p.m. Monday,
Oct. 18, on the Sundance Channel.
The friendly, trilingual Abu
Lashin seemingly has no problem
adjusting to any culture or setting.
Trained as a boxer, he came to the
United States more than a decade
ago as a teenager to fight profession-
ally.
He accepted the nickname "the
Israeli Kid" as a way of building a
A living contradiction, Abu Lashin
has his home gym adorned with
Palestinian and Israeli flags. "I feel
like a hero without a home," he
says.
Raging Dove moves into deeper
waters when Abu-Lashin wins a pair
of welterweight world champi-
onships and uses his clout to stage
his next bout in Nazareth.
He's motivated by a mixture of
