The country of Israel
has negotiated a deal with Syria to free two soldiers held in captivity by
terrorists for 17 years. Two men
are coming home but Amiel Ben-Horin died during his imprisonment. Uri Zach and Nimrod Klein return
home as heroes but they have suffered greatly. They are allowed to spend one night with their families and
then they are taken to a facility for debriefing. They are both suffering PTSD and they have difficulty with just
one night at their homes. The work at the facility reopens all their
wounds and makes them recall everything that happened to them.
The first season
details the return of the prisoners and their families. The debriefing at the facility is tough and the scenes of the men remembering are severe. It’s difficult to get your mind around
what happened and to let it go later. The doctor needs to determine if they are holding back any details and if they are a threat to Israel. 4* (I really liked this series)

Note: The Showtime TV Series
Homeland is based on this series.
The second season moves forward and is a
suspense thriller located away from Damascus and Jerusalem. There were actual abductions of Ron Arad, Gilad Shalit, Guy Hever, Massad Abu Toameh and others. There also have been similar
kidnappings in Morocco, Syria and Iraq. I wondered about the reason for the long time period of holding the men?
