This documentary offers a deep and nuanced portrait of Israeli society in turmoil – political crises, waves of protest, and war, before and after October 7, 2023. Through candid interviews with citizens from all walks of life – Sephardic, Ashkenazi, liberal, and traditional – the film seeks to understand what unites and divides the nation.
