For the first time, and in light of the popularity of Fauda, Oren Rosenfeld and Jane Corbin were granted exclusive access to the clandestine operatives and organization of the Yamas. The documentary delves into the secretive world of the real life operatives, and how closely the show mirrors the reality. The underlying theme is how the Arab-Israeli conflict plays out in Fauda and the realities of the situation in the region.

The documentary includes interviews with Lior Raz the actor who plays Doron in Fauda and Laetitia Eido who plays Dr. Shirin El Abed.
