The Alpha Diaries (2007)

Directed by Yaniv Berman

“An unprecedented, groundbreaking and voyeuristic look into military reserve life in Israel.”

Documentary, War · 1h 25m

An unprecedented, groundbreaking and voyeuristic look into military reserve life in Israel, this film was shot over a 5 year period in director and reserve soldier Yaniv Berman's life. A soldier in the Israeli army reserves, Alpha Company, Berman had unparalleled access and filmed the soldiers as they went about their military service day and night. Crossing over to the Palestinian border the camera captured remarkably every movement of the soldiers from the frenetic night-time house arrests to the quiet moments of self-reflection and despair.
