New Film Follows the Stories of Three Injured Israeli Soldiers
(JTA) "When the Smoke Clears: A Story of Brotherhood, Resilience and Hope" focuses on the daily struggles of three seriously injured Israeli soldiers. "When you read in the paper about a soldier that got injured, you say, 'phew, at least he is not dead.' You don't even think about what it means," says Ofer, one of the film's subjects, who was wounded in the 2006 Second Lebanon War. "I don't think going to war is heroic. I think what is heroic is when I see people who chose to live after what they've gone through."
