Can a leader succeed in influencing the world? Ehud Barak is a controversial former prime minister, decorated and criticized commander on the battlefield, and one of the leading figures of the Zionist movement. He is also the initiator of Israel’s plan to assassinate Yasser Arafat. In this remarkable film, Barak observes his own history and that of the state of Israel with disillusioned clarity. This outstanding philosophical essay proposes a deep cinematic reflection on history and decision making.
The film will be followed by live Q+A with director, Ran Tal. Moderated by Jacob Kornbluh, the senior political reporter at the Forward.

Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
