Poet Bev Hemmings is in the eye of a storm after she publishes a poem that the world seems to believe is anti-Semitic. Shes convinced shes innocent, but everyone else including her PA, Tamsin wants her to apologise. A press interview is planned to begin her public rehabilitation, but Bevs dying father, erratic behaviour and tendency to drink make her public contrition a complex process... Checkpoint Chana examines the point where pro-Palestinian criticism of the government of Israel and anti-Semitism blur.
