The impact campaign for War With No Name set out to confront a long-standing silence in Israeli society: the 18-year military presence in Lebanon’s Security Zone, a prolonged conflict that cost many lives but was never officially recognized as a war. The campaign aimed to restore visibility, acknowledgment, and dignity to those who served, while encouraging public reflection on collective memory, loss, and responsibility. Through national broadcasts, public dialogue, and press coverage, the series reignited a conversation about how societies remember those who fought in “unseen” wars and how governments define sacrifice.

​

The series' organic impact exceeded expectations: following its release, Israel’s Defense Minister and Chief of Staff formally recognized the Lebanon Security Zone period as an official military campaign, awarding all participants the War Service Medal. This rare instance of a documentary directly shaping national policy demonstrated the power of storytelling to bridge historical neglect and institutional recognition.

​

Aligned with UN SDGs 10 (Reduced Inequalities), 16 (Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions), and 17 (Partnerships for the Goals), War With No Name exemplifies the social potential of documentary cinema to influence public discourse and policy.
