War drama centred around Canada's presence in the Afghan conflict. When a journalist (Nick Stahl)'s exposé about the mistreatment of soldiers in Afghanistan is rejected by his paper, he risks his career by flying to the warzone to uncover the truth about the story himself. He travels with his friend Tom (Nicolas Wright), who funds the trip, to try and gather enough evidence to get his story back in print. But as he travels through the warzone, he finds his advisor Mateen (Stephen Lobo) has switched his allegiances to a rival journalist and that the dangers facing him in the war-torn country have only increased since his last visit.
Many Americans who care about Israel's future are questioning whether the hard-line, uncritical stances adopted by many traditional pro-Israel advocates really serve the country's best interests over the long-term. Moderate Jeremy Ben-Ami, founder of J Street, the new pro-Israel, pro-peace political movement, punctures many of the myths that have long guided our understanding of the politics of the American Jewish community and have been fundamental to how pro-Israel advocates have pursued their work including: * that leaders of established Jewish organizations speak for all Jewish Americans when it comes to Israel * that being pro-Israel means you cannot support creation of a Palestinian state * that American Jews vote for candidates based largely on their support of Israel * that talking peace with your enemies demonstrates weakness * that allying with neoconservatives and evangelical Christians is good for Israel and good for the Jewishcommunity Ben-Ami, whose grandparents were first-generation Zionists and founders of Tel Aviv, tells the story of his own evolution toward a more moderate viewpoint. He sketches a new direction for both American policy and the conduct of the debate over Israel in the American Jewish community.
