The Israeli film "Waltz with Bashir" is at the Art starting next
Friday. It uses (mainly) animation to depict the director's real-life
story of recovering his suppressed memory as an IDF soldier of the
IDF-supervised Phalangist massacres at the Palestinian refugee camps
of Sabra and Chatilla during the 1982 invasion of Lebanon by
interviewing fellow Israeli veterans.

I strongly recommend seeing it. It tries in a new way to tell this
important story, and that would be enough; but the film is also a
broader attack on "concentric circles" of complicity in atrocities,
and as such, has obviously a much wider scope than just the events of
Lebanon 1982...
