Beneath the Helmet: From High School to the Home Front is a coming of age story that highlights five young Israeli high school graduates, who are drafted into the army to defend their country. At the age of 18, away from their houses, family, and friends these young individuals undergo a demanding journey, revealing the core of who they are and who they want to be. From the creators of the PBS-featured documentary film Israel Inside: How a Small Nation Makes a Big Difference, the film Beneath the Helmet illustrates how these young men and women are protecting not only their homes, but the shared values of peace, equality, opportunity, democracy, religious tolerance and women's rights. The lessons they learn along the way, are lessons that can be adapted, understood and appreciated by everyone.

amazing

mesmerizing and such an insightful piece to Israeli soldiers who i so often saw as murders as portrayed by the media... fighting for their democratic nation while all the neighbors are in utter disarray. Now i am a Zionist..

I loved how these young boys, who like anyone else in the world, just want to live a normal life, are driven by a purpose so ingrained into them. The Jewish nation really is a light onto nations. They are so mature, at 20 years old, Eden literally is commander of an entire team responsible for their lives. It is superb, and I love every single one of them. Israel is the light that everyone should see, and this is a movie that shows it clearly.
