Flipping Out background

Flipping Out

In this film, former Israeli military personnel find a unique opportunity for self-discovery and healing in India, where they can tap into a special program designed specifically for them.

After completing their mandatory military service in Israel, many Jewish men and women use their bonus to travel to India, seeking relaxation and recovery. Unfortunately, around 90% of them engage in drug use, and annually, nearly 2,000 require professional assistance to overcome addiction. This phenomenon is often referred to as "flipping out," a severe psychological crisis.
