Battle Hymn

Every night, hundreds of IDF soldiers go on dozens of arrest missions in Palestinian villages in the West Bank. The film Battle Hymn gives its viewers a one-time peak into this “routine” yet fundamental IDF experience, where manliness and shame, strength and weakness, lowliness and power, combine.
