Innocence
Dir. Guy Davidi
Documentary | Denmark/Israel/Finland/Iceland | 2022 | 100 min
New York Premiere
Young Israelis know what awaits them when they turn 18: they’ll have to serve in the army. And in Israel, military service often means actual combat and the risk that you won’t survive. Diary excerpts of young people who died while in service, read by voice actors, express their struggle with the imposed violence, leaving no room for their own principles, and their fears and thwarted plans for the future. This documentary brings us inside a childhood and adolescence in a militarized and war-torn culture. Directed by Academy Award nominee Guy Davidi.
