$8A candid exposure of the Six Day War as told by the soldiers who fought in it. On June 5, 1967, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan threatened Israel’s annihilation. Days later, Israel had conquered Gaza, Sinai, and the West Bank. But behind the euphoria were other voices. In the days following the war, renowned author Amos Oz and others recorded conversations with Israeli soldiers, kibbutzniks fresh from the battlefield. This wrenching testimony, censored until now by the Israeli army, reveals men wrestling with the expulsion of Palestinians, the dehumanizing nature of war, and echoes of the Holocaust. Director Mor Loushy unearths these interviews and plays them back to the soldiers, capturing their reactions as their younger selves recount events that prove to be uncannily prescient. — David Scholder
