The events, evoked through news coverage, play out with little tension in a film whose chief concern is to laud a man already held in high esteem.

A straightforward documentary that uses Yoni's own words - in the form of his moving, eloquent letters and poems - to create a searing portrait of his short but meaningful life.

A moving tribute to an Israeli military hero. A straightforward documentary that uses Yoni's own words (in the form of his moving, eloquent letters and poems) to creat a searing portrait of his short but meaningful life. A really good documentary of Jonathan "Yoni" Netanyahu. Bibi Netanyahu's older brother.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
