International politics

SHIMON PERES

84-year-old Shimon Peres is one of the last great actors on the international political stage. He is also an amazing storyteller who knows how to captivate his audience with his words.  We have spent two weeks with Peres in Tel Aviv, where he told them his life story. The story of the little Jewish boy who emigrated to Palestine in 1934 is a magnificent tale in and of itself. But then came his meetings with Ben Gurion, Sadat, Kennedy, Bill Clinton...  In this intimate face-to-face talk, Shimon Peres tells his story. His tale is also an epic of Israeli history, from the country’s founding to the historic peace talks. We take an extraordinary trip through history, thanks to never-before-seen archive footage, Shimon Peres’ private photos, and manuscripts that illustrate his story.
