This is Susan Sontag's documentary about Israel, shot during the Yom Kippur war. Much of it is strictly observational, though there are some effectively didactic juxtapositions -- and several talking heads from across the Israeli political spectrum.

Those who know Sontag's work in general will find her usual searching intelligence, compassion, and fearlessness here.
