Mor Loushy’s documentary revisits previously suppressed audio interviews with Israeli soldiers made in the immediate aftermath of the 1967 six-day war. Cutting between archive footage and new film of the interviewees listening silently to their testimony, Loushy reveals a soul-searching history of disillusionment, self-doubt and raw regret. The spectre of the Holocaust is invoked by soldiers openly wondering whether their own cause has not become monstrous, while news reports from a Palestinian refugee camp prophetically declare that “the only thing growing here is revenge”.
