Carthago (Hebrew: קרתגו) is an Israeli period drama broadcast on Kan 11, created by brothers Reshef Levi and Yannets Levi with Tomer Shani, who also directed the series.
The subject of the series is the fictionalized story of Elijah Levi, the creators' father, who was deported from Palestine to a British internment camp in Carthago, Sudan.
The series is set in 1942, in the midst of the British deportation of Zionist militias from Mandatory Palestine. Levi, a successful and innocent comedian, finds himself brought to the Carthago camp with a group of Lehi fighters, alongside other British detainees including Nazis and Italian fascists. Once there, he discovers that his former lover, Helena, is married to the camp commander, Lord Davidson.[1]
