| Summary |
"On June 25, 2006, a Palestinian resistance force in Gaza crawled out of a tunnel and attacked an IDF tank. Two Israeli soldiers were killed and Gilad Shalit, the gunner, was captured and taken to Gaza. Chief of Staff, Dan Halutz, and PM, Ehud Olmert, decided not to establish any contact with Gilad's captors and to pursue an aggressive strategy. Six hundred and fifty Palestinians were killed in a large scale retaliatory operation in Gaza but Gilad's fate remained unchanged. Two years later the film examines the events since the day Gilad was captured and tries to understand why he hasn't yet been released. Moving between the Israeli and the Palestinian sides, between Gilad's captors and his family, the film reveals how his release turned from a humanitarian to a political issue.
