Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film 2008, Beaufort tells the true story of Liraz Liberti (Oshri Cohen), a barely-of-age Israeli outpost commander, and his troops, who are left to defend the mythological 12th Century Crusdaer fort of Beaufort prior to Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2000. Under a relentless aerial bombardment of Hezbollah rockets, Liraz's authority is challenged on both sides; by strained soldiers who increasingly become weary of their mission's purpose and uncooperative superiors. Rather than deliver a political commentary on the Middle East, Beaufort offers a rare insight into the human reality behind the tough exterior shell of the Israeli Defence Force.
