“Beneath the Helmet: From High School to the Home Front” is a coming-of-age story which follows the journey of five Israeli high school graduates who are drafted into the army to defend their country. At the age of 18, away from their homes, families and friends these young individuals undergo a demanding, inspiring journey, revealing the core of who they are, who they want to be.    Website: http://www.beneathhelmet.com/
