The Paratroopers

Israel 1977 | 90 minutes | Hebrew | English subtitles

Private Weisman is killed during paratroop training. Was it an accident or was it suicide? After all, Weisman suffered abuse from his commander and friends. One of the best Israeli films of the 1970s, The Paratroopers examines the myth of the Israeli hero against the grim reality of the army.
