Director Joseph Cedar’s Oscar-nominated BEAUFORT tells the true story of a 22-year-old Israeli outpost commander and his troops in the months before the country’s evacuation of Lebanon in 2000. It is a powerful story not of war but of retreat. It is a story with no enemy, only an amorphous entity that drops bombs from the skies while terrified young soldiers must find a way to carry out their mission until their very last minutes on the strategic Beaufort mountaintop.
