This film is the first documentary to be shot in the form of animation. Israeli director Ali Forman witnessed the 1982 massacre in Sabala and Shatila Palestinian camps in Beirut, Lebanon, as an Israeli soldier at the age of 19. More than 20 years later, Forman, who lost his memory, tried to recall the truth of the massacre through conversations with comrades-in-arms, friends, psychiatrists, soldiers and journalists who witnessed the tragedy. As Forman's memory was gradually awakened, the horrors of the 1982 war in Lebanon emerged frame by frame. This film won the 2008 Caesar Award for Best Foreign language Film, the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign language Film, the Los Angeles Film Association Award for Best Animation and Best documentary runner-up, and was nominated for Best Foreign language Film, British Film and Television Association Best non-English Film and Best Animation, and was included in the 2009 Cannes Golden Palme d'Or competition.
