Documentary based on archive material, revealing the final years of Israel's founder and first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion.
"In 1968 ... he was interviewed at length — the recording lost until recently. At the time of the interview, Ben-Gurion was 82, and living in the desert. The separation from his experience of power in both place and time, removed from all political discourse, yields a new perspective on the Zionist enterprise. He shows prophetic insight into much of what has happened since — one wouldn’t be surprised to hear him say, gently, “I told you so”!" (DocEdge Film Festival)

"The Israel Ben-Gurion talks about is more than a fading memory; it now seems a distant planet. Yet there are moments when he seems to look forward, with prophetic insight, at much of what has happened since."
