Synopsis
This documentary focuses on David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first Prime Minister. Looking back on his life, Ben-Gurion discusses his Zionist views and the formation of Israel. The elder statesman also recalls various aspects of his political career and his military involvement during the Arab-Israeli War. The film, which was released not long before Ben-Gurion's death in 1973, is particularly poignant in showing the former leader in pensive retirement out in the desert of his beloved country.
