Prisoners of War: Series 1
The Israeli drama which inspired the U.S. series "Homeland". "Prisoners of War" (or "Hatufim" - 'abductees' in Hebrew), tells the story of three Israeli Defence Force reservists who are captured behind enemy lines in Lebanon. Their fate is unknown until seventeen years later, when they mysteriously return to their homeland - two of them alive, the third in a coffin. The story of the three men's time in captivity unfolds across 10 episodes, as they attempt to reintegrate into society, trying to cope with the pressures of being re-introduced to their families and friends, as well as handling the national hero status being thrust upon them via the public limelight. The gripping plot straddles three differing time periods - before capture, life in captivity and the present day. Personal drama, struggles, challenges and in-depth debriefings help paint a picture of what exactly happened in the seventeen long years the men were incarcerated.
