‘Who By Fire’: Leonard Cohen Yom Kippur War Tour To Be Made Into Limited TV Drama Series By ‘Shtisel’ Creator Yehonatan Indursky

Leonard Cohen’s transformative tour of Israel at the height of the 1973 Yom Kippur War is to be made into a limited TV drama series by Shtisel creator Yehonatan Indursky, Keshet International and Jill Offman’s Sixty-Six Media.

Dekel, Keshet International’s Head of Global Drama Co-Productions, described Cohen’s 1973 tour as an “exceptional cultural moment.”
Friedman’s work is represented by the Deborah Harris Agency, while Indursky is
