Info
Nimrode and Uri have just been released, in a prisoner exchange, after spending 17 years being tortured in a Syrian prison. After a brief joyous reunion with families, Nimrode and Uri experience more pain and anguish. In his absence, Uri is crushed when he hears his brother Yaki married his fiancée Nurit. Meanwhile, Nimrode finds he cannot relate to his teenage son and daughter who barely remember him. But both lives become especially nightmarish when Israel Defense Forces (IDF) psychiatrist, Dr. Haim Cohen, starts to relentlessly interrogate them. The IDF fears that when both were prisoners, experiencing unbearable torture and brutality, they might have revealed Israeli military secrets and vital security information. It’s up to Dr. Cohen to use every method at his disposal to determine if and what the prisoners revealed. This is not what Nimrode and Uri expected on their return to freedom. Are they heroes or are they traitors?

PRISONERS of WAR smolders rather than burns. It’s a thoughtful, psychological thriller—without the sniping and bombs.
PRISONERS of WAR is an ensemble drama in which the cloak-and-dagger side is secondary to a naturalistic study of the effects of torture, absence, and the return of ordinary men to their families.
