a champion) and guilt (for his free-
dom and luxury in America), and by
the urge to show Palestinian youths
a positive role model.
But the filmmaker doesn't probe
Abu Lashin on this point, or why
the fighter didn't bring his American
wife along. She was opposed to the
whole venture, but her absence
seems particularly glaring when Abu
Lashin reunites with his parents.
The Nazareth bout comes off with
few hitches. After the boxer dis-
patches his opponent — flown in
from Indianapolis — before an
enthusiastic crowd, he sets a new
challenge: His next bout will be
fought in Gaza.
A successful title match would
provide the Palestinians with an
enormous shot of confidence and
momentum. But Abu Lashin is bet-
ting the farm because he must
defend his title every six months or
risk having it taken away.
The fighter lobbies Arab represen-
tatives at the Knesset for their help,
and his celebrity leads to a face-to-
face meeting in Gaza where Arafat
promises the Palestinian Authority's
help.
Perhaps scarce resources can't be
allotted to a boxing match. Maybe
Arafat is an inept figurehead with no
power. Or perhaps Abu Lashin's
request was a no-go from the start,
but proper etiquette in Arab culture
is never to say no to someone's face.
Whatever the reason, the
Palestinians don't deliver.
Whether Abu Lashin is naive or
has an inflated sense of his own
power is open to interpretation.
What's clear is that his inability to
make things happen in Gaza, despite
his persistence, marks him as anoth-
er well-meaning casualty of the
Middle East.
Alas, Raging Dove (a riff on
Scorsese's boxing movie Raging Bull)
squanders the drama by failing to
provide a countdown as Abu Lashin's
six-month window evaporates.
Raging Dove coulda been a con-
tender, but as it stands, it's merely
an entertaining and curious diver-
sion. ❑
