Synopsis
54 Min / Hebrew, English / Israel / 2021
From 1948 onward, the Israeli military censorship examined soldiers’ letters under the guise of preventing the disclosure of military secrets. But unknown to soldiers was a secret apparatus which copied their letters and stored them. The purpose was to analyze the views of ordinary soldiers, and the findings were presented to high-ranking officials in a top secret report titled “The Soldier’s Opinion."
This report opens a window into the most intimate thoughts of soldiers on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, morality and brutality in war, and Ashkenazi-Mizrahi relations. The film sketches the alternative history of Israel that the report offers, and reveals what actions those who read it chose to take.

Be'eri massacre
In the early hours of Saturday, October 7, 2023, our beautiful Kibbutz was attacked by dozens of Hamas terrorists who infiltrated the Kibbutz, murdered and kidnapped dozens of community members, burned houses and turned it into rubble.
The friendly and welcoming Beeri community was left shocked, horrified and mourning. The loss is unbearable to carry, and now we are facing an impossible mission – to rebuild and restore the flourishing Kibbutz that was our home.
Your donation will allow us – the Kibbutz members who are left – to rebuild the community, rehabilitate our lives and continue to spread the light of Be'eri.
Thank you for your support and humanity.
The Be'eri community
