Watch In Our Hands: The Battle for Jerusalem For Free

Fresh and Exciting

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is clearly propaganda... So sad to see the reviews from people claiming these are the accurate events...

Stirring, documentary of the famous six days war, in which Israel liberated Jerusalem. The movie merges actual film sequences from the war with survivors' testimonies and also well-acted dramatizations that put the viewers into the battles. From the political and ethnic friction that led to the war to the ground-level foot soldier exploits (an elite IDF paratrooper battalion), the film is tightly directed and edited, and of high production value. The actors are believable and the musical score quite moving. Very well done.

I have already read much on Israel's creation, declaring independence and the Six Days War to be able to recognize accuracy. This is very accurate and very clarifying regarding the Jews struggle to re-take Jerusalem despite enemies and biased world opinion. I appreciated the testimonials of actual combatants coordinated with the recreated scenarios. It was very moving and provoked a real emotional response from me. This is a great tutorial for people wanting to have a better understanding of why little, tiny Israel is so significant in the arc of history...past, present and future. Gordon Robertson's "wrap up" at the conclusion is excellent. I highly recommend this.

I'm going to be honest. I'm not a super huge fan of CBN productions. Nothing specific other than typically their work is very campy or slanted. This was surprisingly refreshing, from the trailers you would think this would be a start to finish reenactment.. however, the refreshing aspect was that it was more of a true documentary with stunning historical photos and interview with surviving members of the IDF who were apart of the battle. There was live action reenactment but it wasn't the bulk of the film which really lent to it's credibility. The acting was done well enough, again it's worth the watch.
