June, 1982. A lone tank is dispatched to search a hostile town that has already been bombarded by the Israeli Air Force. What seems to be a simple mission gradually spins out of control. Shmuel, Assi, Herzl, and Yigal are the tank’s crew, four 20-something boys who have never fought in a war and are now operating a killing machine. Though trying to remain brave, the boys are pushed to their mental limits as they struggle to survive in a situation they cannot contain, and try not to lose their humanity in the chaos of war. The film screens on Thursday, November 18 at 8 p.m.; Friday, November 19 at 9 p.m.; Saturday, November 20 at 6 p.m.; and Sunday, November 21 at 6 p.m. Admission is $6 for seniors, University of Miami alumni, faculty, non UM-students, and staff.
