It's What We Do: A Play about the Occupation

About This Movie

So, 'It's What We Do' is an intriguing blend of documentary and drama that takes a really raw look at the lives of Israeli soldiers. They candidly share their experiences of serving in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, which creates this heavy atmosphere throughout. The pacing is quite contemplative, allowing each soldier's story to resonate. It’s not just about the events they describe but also the moral dilemmas they face. The performances feel genuine, almost like a confessional, and the lack of flashy effects keeps the focus squarely on their words and emotions. The film confronts themes of accountability and the human cost of conflict, making it distinctive in how it presents such personal and painful narratives without the usual sensationalism.
