Valerie's
family moved from France to Israel when she was 13-years-old. It
was difficult for her at first since she didn't know the language or the
customs. But she believed in the country and soon found herself with
a group of great friends and doing well in school. She knows that
when she finishes school, she will become a soldier for two years.
Every young person in Israel must spend two years in service. She
and her friends believe that it will be a great time for them. They
look forward to the glamor of being a soldier and the privileges that go
with it. But it is not exactly what Valerie expects. She must
leave behind her friends and her freedom and enter a world that she doesn't
know. Tapped to enter the secret service, Valerie begins to
see beyond her childhood beliefs. And she begins to question Israel's
treatment of the Palestinians. |
