WhatsApp, Garin Gilboa?
With the passage of over 50 years, the director chooses to look back at his days in the “Garin Gilboa”, a religious Nahal military platoon where he did his military service after the Six Day War.
Towards the age of 70, his friends from the “Garin” opened a WhatsApp group and renewed the ties between them, which had been loose since their release from the IDF.
The correspondence in the WhatsApp group encourages the director to investigate his past, and to look at some of the changes and radicalization that took place in Religious Zionism.
