One of the most important works of world cinema
Without the IDF , the question of peace between Israel and its former enemies would never have arisen: Israel would no longer exist. Claude Lanzmann's film tells the story of Israel's long march toward peace, revealing, as no one before has, the warriors, officers, and soldiers of the Israel Defense Forces. Because he was the director of Shoah , the IDF opened many doors to Claude Lanzmann and allowed him complete freedom of filmmaking. This film is about fear and courage, about the conquest of courage, about the price of blood—blood shed and blood received—about the tenuous and unbreakable thread that connects the defenseless men, women, and children of the Holocaust to the fighters of modern Israel. But it is also a film about weapons, about frontal assault and deception, about specific military strategies and tactics, illustrated by the exploits of five major wars and 45 years of a permanent state of war.
