Powerful, moving, inspiring. These are genuine heroes.

Howard Zinn
Historian, author, social activist

A moving portrait of Israeli men and women who have been willing to risk imprisonment in defense of their stands against the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza by refusing to serve in those regions or refusing to serve in the military at all. A high school student, a career military officer, an army medic, and others tell a conflicted and passionate story of how they have come to believe they must take a stand. They differ in their spiritual and political beliefs, some are ardent Zionists, and some question and challenge  the concept of Zionism, but all of them believe that taking a stand is crucial to their own humanity and to the future of their country.

... a powerful testament to the courage and integrity of the young people who make up the refuser movement. 

Rabbi Laurie Zimmerman
Board of Directors Member, Jewish Voice for Peace

… a beautiful, honest, and unforgettable film, required viewing for any one who refuses to accept easy answers about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This is an important story that needs to be heard.
