Z.A.K.A is an Orthodox Jewish volunteer force in Israel who immediately respond to any terror attack, disaster or accident. When Jacob, a Z.A.K.A volunteer, makes the split-second decision to treat a young Arab woman, instead of the soldier she may have killed, his world is changed forever. A powerful thriller from Toronto's Human Cargo and winner of the 2019 Dora Mavor Moore Awards for Outstanding Production, Outstanding Direction and Outstanding New Play.
