Director's comment
When I was 18 years old, I joined the army. Recruitment is mandatory in Israel, and we are educated never to doubt its necessity. I wanted to make films, so I pulled every string I could in order to get to the IDF Filming Unit. As strange as it sounds, the army was where I fell in love with filmmaking.MISSION: HEBRON allows me to go back to those years in the army, but this time with a critical perspective. A perspective 18-year-olds simply don't have.
