Valley of Tears

Having just premiered in Israel, Valley of Tears is spiking massive interest in the country and, apparently, abroad – it was almost immediately snapped up by HBO Max, which is reportedly going to release it as an HBO original at a yet-unknown date.

The series, which is the most expensive one ever made in Israel, shows the personal stories and experiences of three groups of soldiers on the frontlines of the 1973 Yom Kippur War. While it is not a documentary and is not entirely historically accurate, it is nonetheless a breathtaking opportunity to learn more about one of the most painful episodes in Israel’s past.
