“There and Back Again” is a thrilling and deeply moving drama inspired by the true story of Israeli pilots and soldiers captured in Egypt during the 1970 War of Attrition, leading up to the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Amidst the harsh conditions of captivity—facing isolation, interrogations, and the constant struggle to survive—the prisoners find a glimmer of hope through a shared project: translating the classic masterpiece The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The story of these POWs, set in Cairo’s infamous Abbasia prison, is a testament to the triumph of the human spirit. A story of brotherhood, courage, and endless hope. |
