Synopsis
In December 2003, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon publicly announced the Disengagement Plan. Against acrimonious resistance from his own ranks he had the inhabitant of 21 Jewish settlements evicted and their houses destroyed. The father of the settler’s movement, the general, who was responsible for the massacres of Sabra and Shatila turned into a strategic statesmen, who committed himself to peace in theMiddle East – and with eyes wide open, single-mindedly destroyed his life’s work.
The film cannot answer all the questions that Sharon himself refused to answer. But the person behind
the statesman becomes acutely visible and the audience gets a sense of the inner conflict, which
forced Sharon to abandon his life’s vision of a Greater Israel and adopt and implement new positions.
