Muslims Fighting for Israel

• Produced by: BBC World Service
• Narrated by: Rachid Sekkai
• Length of the documentary: 22:32

The documentary is discussing Israel's Muslim Soldiers. It starts off with the memorial scene, which gets the audience in the mood, then a brief background on Muslim soldiers who join the Israeli Army. The documentary mainly aims at shedding light on different perceptions on Muslims being Israeli soldiers. The documentary generates a holistic picture in which Israeli officials, the soldiers, their families, religious leaders and Muslim-Israeli citizens share their thoughts about this job.

The documentary is very interesting, as the topic is very unique. It is the first time I know that that are Muslim soldiers in the Israeli army. The oddness of the issue allows audience to remain alert throughout the documentary to be able to grasp the whole idea from the experiences of people who are actually in the scene.

The sound quality is perfect. It is very clear regardless of the strange accents they are using. The Nat sound is perfectly used. Starting off with the opening of the memorial and the Qur’an added to the intensity of the documentary and setting the mood for the audience.

The narrator’s voice is clear. The pace is slow, yet the issue itself was magnetizing that I was fully attended for the whole 22 minutes.

The length of the documentary is good, since it allowed to include several people of different perceptions along with the inclusion of background information.

The writing quality was good as I was able to fully understand what the story is about from an objective angle and was not left out with unanswered questions.

The documentary began strongly with setting up the mood for the topic by using Nat sound and ended strongly by the well written summary that was narrated.
