What happens

At the Green Line is a 2005 Israeli documentary made by Jesse Atlas that profiles several members of Courage to Refuse, a political group whose members refuse to serve in the Israeli military because of moral opposition to its policies. In addition, it features several Israelis on active service in the military as part of their reserve duty. The title refers to the 1949 Armistice line established between Israel and Syria, the Jordanian-held West Bank, and the then Egyptian-held Gaza Strip. The latter have been referred to as the Occupied Territories. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
