The ten-part miniseries Valley of Tears depicts the 1973 Yom Kippur War, where a coalition from Egypt and Syria attacked Israel on the Jewish holiday of rest and prayer. This story follows the young fighters as they are caught up in this month-long battle and discover their leaders are not as trustworthy as they had believed.
Valley of Tears premieres November 12 on HBO Max.
