New film recounts secret Mossad operation to rescue Ethiopian Jews via secret outpost on Sudanese coast. The brochure portrayed it as a divers' paradise located along the Red Sea in Sudan. They were unaware that Arous was a Mossad base to secretly evacuate 7,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel from refugee camps in Sudan. More than 100,000 Ethiopian Jews have emigrated to Israel since the 1980s. More than three decades later, the movie version of Operation Brothers -- "The Red Sea Diving Resort" -- is being directed by Israeli filmmaker Gideon Raff, filmed in South Africa and Namibia.
