Gal Gadot and her husband Jaron Varsano are partnering with Keshet International for a film adaptation of controversial novel “Borderlife,” about a romance between a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian man.
The Wonder Woman star and Varsano will co-produce the film through their Pilot Wave production banner in partnership with U.S.-based Keshet Studios, headed by Peter Traugott.
The international bestselling novel from Israeli author Dorit Rabinian tells the story of a Jewish woman and Palestinian man who meet in New York and fall in love.
Israel’s education ministry banned the book from high school reading lists because of its depiction of a cross-cultural romance.
Gadot will next be seen in Wonder Woman 1984, which opens in June 2020.
