On May 14, 1948 in Tel Aviv, under the moved eyes of a thousand people, David Ben Gurion proclaimed the birth of the State of Israel. This speech was welcomed by Jews around the world as the realization of an unimaginable dream: the end of 2000 years of exile. For the survivors of the death camps, the creation of the State of Israel was a source of immense comfort. However, for the 700,000 Palestinians who were forced to flee or expelled from their homeland, it marked the beginning of a crying injustice. From the initial Nazi persecution to the present day, including the tragedy of Exodus and the UN vote for the partition of Palestine in 1947, this fascinating documentary rigorously and impartially explains the roots of a conflict that still persists today.
