Its a very informative documentary, I lived in Gaza for 8 years and my first memory as a child was waiting 5 hours in the rain at a checkpoint.. Its heartbreaking to see nothing has changed and how people can treat others this way is totally amazing. You do see some good soldiers there and the bad, there was a very racist moment where a soldier compared the Palestinians to 'dogs.. monkeys & gorillas' and a point in the film where a soldier (Looked in his mid 20's) went up to a young girl (17) to talk to her, I don't know about anyone else but I felt a little uncomfortable (He kept asking her the same questions and you could tell he just wanted to get a good look at here)
You can tell some of the soldiers don't like being there, it also shows how people sometimes have to wait hours on end to get from such a small distance to another. In my life I never expected an Israeli to have made a film like this, because to me, it shows the Israelis in a bad way.. It reinforces the aggressor label.
