Synopsis

BEAUFORT offers a rare insight into the human reality behind the tough exterior shell of the Israeli Defence Force as told by Liraz Liberti (Oshri Cohen), the barely-of-age outpost commander, and his troops, prior to Israel's withdraw from Lebanon at the end of the first Lebanon war.

BEAUFORT was a Foreign Language Oscar nominee for 2008.
