Prisoners of War (TV Series) (2009) follows the harrowing journey of three Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) reservists who are taken captive during a mission in Lebanon. Their fate remains uncertain for seventeen years, during which they become symbols of hope and resilience for their society and families. When two of the soldiers finally return home, alive but forever changed, and the third is brought back in a coffin, they must navigate the complexities of reintegration into their families and society, all while grappling with the public's perception of them as national heroes. The series, starring Yaël Abecassis, Mili Avital, Yoram Tolledano, Assi Cohen, and Ishai Golan, weaves a gripping narrative through three timelines: before their capture, their life in captivity, and their present-day struggles. This intricate plot, written and directed by Gideon Raff, delves into the personal dramas and challenges the men face, revealing the dark secrets of their seventeen years in captivity. The series, originally broadcast by Keshet Broadcasting, was voted Israel’s top drama in 2010 and served as the inspiration for the acclaimed American drama series Homeland.
