Waltz with Bashir

Vals Im Bashir

Director/Ari Folman

An animated documentary in which the director reconstructs his own near-erased memory of serving as an Israeli soldier during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon and the Sabra and Shatila massacres. It is a way into a problem that surfaces in any investigation of violence: the participant’s testimony is indispensable and, at the same time, the least reliable source there is.
