The film
“Without hope there is no struggle” Noa Levy, MESARVOT (Israeli Army Refusers)
Like all Israeli youth, Atalya is obligated to become a soldier. Unlike most, she questions the practices of her country’s military, and becomes determined to challenge this rite of passage.
Despite her family’s political disagreements and personal concerns, she refuses military duty and is imprisoned for her dissent. Her courage moves those around her to reconsider their own moral and political positions.
OBJECTOR follows Atalya to prison and beyond, offering a unique window into the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from the perspective of a young woman who seeks truth and takes a stand for justice.
“The doc gives voice to a generation of concerned citizens who believe that violence is not the road to peace … Objector offers a sharply focused perspective on a volatile conflict.” Pat Mullen, Point of View Magazine
