Movie Haiku:Ophir-winning animated feature depicts the grunt''s eye view of the 1982 Lebanese War, cultimating in the night Christian militia members took revenge for the murder of Bashir Gamael while Israeli soldiers "looked the other way." Sophisticated treatment of repressed memory & PTSD painfully relevant to today''s headlines.
