Protocols of zion (2005)

This 92-minute documentary is Marc Levin's firsthand exploration of resurgent anti- Semitism in the wake of 9/11. Starting with the examination of a long-discredited piece of 100-year-old propaganda, Levin's film was inspired by an encounter he had in a New York taxi, in which his driver, an Egyptian immigrant, made the disturbing claim that Jews had been warned not to go to work at the World Trade Center on the day of the attacks. The driver added that "it's all written in the book," referring to The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a notorious forgery created 100 years ago, purporting to be the Jews' master plan to rule the world.

Protocols of Zion premiered to much acclaim at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2005, and was featured at the Berlin Film Festival in February 2005. Variety wrote, "Filmmaker Marc Levin fearlessly faces down his adversaries as he strolls from one lion's den into another."

Levin and his film partner Daphne Pinkerson have produced ten acclaimed films for HBO over the years, including Mob Stories, Prisoners of the War on Drugs, Execution Machine: Texas Death Row, Soldiers in the Army of God, and Gladiator Days. Thug Life in D.C. won the 1999 Emmy® for Outstanding Non-Fiction Special. Gang War: Bangin' in Little Rock won the CableACE Award for Best Documentary Special of 1994. The sequel, Back in the Hood, premiered last summer on HBO. The team also produced 2004's Heir to an Execution, a documentary feature following Ivy Meeropol's journey on the 50th anniversary of the execution of her grandparents, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg.
