Lone Soldier Video Showcase

American Lone Soldiers In The IDF

Tags: Soldiers and Defense, Diaspora

This documentary is about Lone Soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces. A Lone Soldier is a person from outside of Israel who volunteers to serve in the army and has no family with them in Israel.

This topic was chosen because the Lone Soldier program is something unique to the IDF. While filming this documentary we had the privilege of speaking with many different people who were lone soldiers or are connected to lone soldiers, and although they each had unique, interesting stories, every single one said the same thing; it was the best experience of their lives and they would gladly do it again.

We wanted to explore what makes the experience so amazing, and what motivates people to leave their homes and move half way around the world to serve in an army.

Produced by Write On For Israel/San Francisco teen participants.
