24 DAYS poster

“24 DAYS” (Foreign Film Review & Trailer)

  Kidnapping for money has become common in many countries getting huge sums of cash from rich families. So in the film 24 Days the kidnappers target their quarry on the notion that all Jews are rich and have access to large amounts of money.
