"Every Mother Should Know"
Nir Toib | Israel | 2008 | 120m

In Nir Toib’s soul-searching new documentary, two generations of Israeli reservists reflect on the painful failures of the second Lebanon war. They criticize the senior military command’s leadership skills and describe what they feel is a crisis of moral values. Out of their anger and disillusionment, these elite fighters offer a new set of societal values concerning war,
sacrifice and heroism.
