What if? Ehud Barak on War and Peace
Israel | 2020 | 85 min. | Hebrew | Documentary | Hebrew & English Subtitles
Can a leader succeed in influencing the world and shaping reality? Or is he, as any other human being, only a nutshell tossed to the waves of history; with no ability to affect it? Tolstoy pondered this question in “War and Peace”. Ehud Barak, controversial former prime minister of Israel and a decorated commander on the battlefield, contemplates it in the film “What if? Ehud Barak on War and Peace”.
20 years after he was forced to resign from the premiership, Due to the failure of the Camp David 2000 conference, 78 years old Barak observes his own history and the history of the State of Israel, with disillusioned clarity, while trying to figure it all out - "What if?"
