As part of its 2013 Israel Film Festival, the Jewish Federation of Sarasota-Manatee presents A Bottle in the Gaza Sea, an engrossing drama based on the award-winning novel by Valerie Zenatti.

She puts the letter into a bottle, and asks her brother in the IDF to throw it into the sea near Gaza. A few weeks later, she receives an email response from a mysterious “Gaza-Man and thus begins a turbulent, but tender, on-line friendship.
