Beneath the Helmet
HISTORY OF ISRAEL • 1h 20m
A coming-of-age story which follows the journey of five Israeli high school graduates who are drafted into the army to defend their country.

From the creators of the PBS-featured documentary, "Israel Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference", the film illustrates how these young men and women are defending not only their homes, but also the values of peace, equality, opportunity, democracy, religious tolerance and women's rights.
