JCC for London in partnership with Y-UJIA are proud to present a Movie Monday screening of this year's most provocative Israeli film, Lebanon. This event is part of Y-UJIA's diverse educational programme and includes a Q&A with Professor Ian Palmer, expert in military psychiatry and head of the Ministry of Defence's Medical Assessment Programme.
Soldier turned filmmaker Samuel Maoz depicts the Israeli invasion of Lebanon in 1982, as seen from the inside of an Israeli tank.
A lone tank is dispatched to search a hostile town. The tank's crew are four 20-something boys who have never fought before and are now operating a killing machine. Though trying to remain brave, the boys are pushed to their mental limits as they try not to lose their humanity in the chaos of war and the struggle to survive, as their simple mission spins out of control.
Winner of the Leone d'Oro at the 66th Venice International Film Festival 2009.
Duration 93 minutes. Hebrew with English subtitles.
