Under the Iron Dome

Developed to protect Israel against constant rocket fire, the “Iron Dome” missile defense system is a story about confrontation with indiscriminate terrorism. Follow the development of this breakthrough, lifesaving technological wonder — across a journey from vanity, denial, tragedy, and panic, to sacrifice, genius, and euphoria. This three-part documentary series follows the Israeli race toward a solution for the ballistic rockets fired daily on the city of Sderot and other parts of southern Israel, beginning in 2004. Culminating in the 2014 Israel-Gaza conflict known as Operation Protective Edge, the now world-renowned “Iron Dome” has intercepted thousands of Hamas’ rockets, and defends Israel’s civilian citizens almost hermetically.
