Product Description:

An Israeli soldier is captured by PLO fighters who plan to use him as a bargaining chip. At the same time, the World Cup is underway, and the men share a love of soccer, leading to a powerful learning experience for all.

Plot Synopsis:

Cohen, a soldier in the Israeli army, is thrilled to have tickets to soccer's greatest event -- the World Cup Final -- but when Israel invades Lebanon, he's forced to stay on military duty in the desert. And if that's not bad enough, some Palestine Liberation Organization soldiers on their way back to Beirut take him prisoner.
Then, the PLO leader turns out to be a fan of Cohen's favorite team! Ironically, the two enemies are stuck in the middle of a war in the Middle East, when they'd both rather be at the championship supporting the same players.
