An in-depth- intimate look at a group of idealistic radicals who live on the breaking point of an ancient conflict. Despite being small in numbers, these groups seem to be holding the fate of the Middle East in their hands.
In response to the death of his brother Gilaad in a Palestinian ambush, Itay Zar establishes an illegal outpost in the West Bank. Surrounded by Palestinian villages, the settlement is inhabited by some of the most extreme right-wing activists who believe that the sanctity of the land is above all. The "Hilltop Youth" do not adhere to Israeli democratic values, take the law into their own hands and pick fights with the surrounding Palestinians.
With unprecedented access, filmmaker Itzik Lerner takes us on a journey into the heart of hard core settler country. In light of recent terror events carried out by Jewish terrorists, Gilaad's Outpost's radical-destructive force is very timely.
