Anthrax is a found footage mystery that tells the story of reserve soldiers who volunteered to take part in an anthrax vaccine experiment during their military service. Seven years later, they discover the vaccine has disastrous side effects. The IDF won’t cooperate and so they have no choice but to expose the truth and save their own lives. The film confronts a real scandal by combining it with fictional narratives using documentary aesthetics to blur the line separating reality and fiction.
