- Whenever I look at pictures of horrific things that soldiers do or that have been done to soldiers I always feel sorry for everybody involved because politics throws them into these horrific situations where really it's just 18-year-old kids.
- When you live far away, home looks a little different every time.
- The lives of prisoners of war after they are returned is almost never discussed, never explored.
- Here in Israel, we want the boys back home, we demand it from our government, who often pay a steep price to get hostages back. But we need a happy ending. We don't want to deal with those days after release, their post-trauma or reintroduction to society. Yet coming home is only the start of their journey.
- Israel's a small country but both the audience and programme-makers are very sophisticated.
