This animated film is centered around a former member of the Israeli Defense Force who has become haunted by his experiences in the invasion of Lebanon in the early 1980s.

Environmental degradation in Latin America might not seem like the basis for a political and legal thriller, but as this documentary shows it certainly can be.

Human Rights Film Festival:
Pray the Devil Back to Hell
