Performers: Israeli Fighting women group | Cinematography: Amit Chachamov
This work follows a group of women and teenagers as they practice Krav Maga, an Israeli martial art rooted in real-world survival. While the film captures the visceral, physical rigor of the discipline, its primary focus is the profound mental recalibration required of the practitioners. It documents a shedding of the "victim" archetype, exploring the internal process of adopting a tactical, proactive mindset. Through this training, the women navigate a complex psychological landscape, learning to inhabit their own strength and reframe themselves as potential attackers rather than potential targets.
