A look inside the work of Breaking the Silence, an organization of former IDF soldiers who collect and publish testimonies of those who - like themselves - served in the Occupied Territories. 
For six months, director Silvina Landsmann, camera in hand, accompanied the staff of Breaking the Silence in their daily routine: guided tours of Hebron and its rural area, public lectures and house meetings, internal staff meetings and media strategy. All the while, they were accused of fabricating stories, damaging Israel's reputation and playing into the hands of anti-Semites. Landsmann observes with a cinematic, sober eye, how the group struggles internally and externally to find its voice.
