Avenge But One of My Two Eyes

Many generations of Israelis were brought up on the Masada dichotomy of liberty vs. death. Almost two thousand years after the Roman siege over Masada, and the collective suicide of its defenders, this film aims to explore the possible objects of identification available today. Should we be identified as the mythic heroes of Masada, or as the murderous fanatics of Masada? Or maybe we would rather be identified as the Romans, the cruel conquerors of the land?
