The Secrets of War
A cinematic journey investigating the brutal massacre of 17 Israeli prisoners by Syrian Soldiers in the Golan Heights. The two tragic events depicted in this film, clouded in secrecy and lies by the Israeli Defense Forces for over 50 years, serve as a metaphor for Israel’s weakness and blind arrogance during the early days of the terrible Yom Kippur War.
