Above and Beyond- Documentary Film
I had the chance to watch this amazing film today in Sao Paulo, Brazil:
In 1948, a group of World War II pilots, mostly from America, volunteered to fight for Israel in the War of Independence. As members of “Machal” – volunteers from abroad – this ragtag band of brothers not only turned the tide of the war, preventing the possible annihilation of Israel at the very moment of its birth; they also laid the groundwork for the Israeli Air Force.
ABOVE AND BEYOND is their story.
