Fairfax: Regency Fairfax Theatre (Hollywood, CA)
Hen Lasker's feature documentary debut takes us back to the place where she first fell in love with a woman: the Israeli Defense Forces. Baby-faced teen recruits, like discipline-prone Yarden, transform into combat-ready soldiers by day and cry for their parents by night. Lasker takes a close look inside a little seen world, and also ends up revealing part of herself.

The movie was not focused enough for me. I expected to follow a single soldier through her training, but felt it was a scattered glimpse of six or so soldiers.

Hen Lasker’s feature documentary debut takes us back to the place where she first fell in love with a woman: the Israeli Defense Forces. Baby-faced teen recruits, like discipline-prone Yarden, transform into combat-ready soldiers by day and cry for their parents by night. Also caught in the viewfinder is young commander Smadar, whose burgeoning lesbianism reaches right through the lens as she and the filmmaker start a flirtation. Lasker takes a close look inside a little seen world, and also ends up revealing part of herself.
