These early builders of the Zionist vision,pioneers of the Third Aliyah and the Fourth Aliyah, were captured on film by Ya’akov Ben Dov, the father of Hebrew film. Now three of Ben Dov’s historic films, Return to Zion, The Rebirth of a Nation and Romance of a New Palestine, considered lost for more than 70 years, have been rediscovered and jointly preserved by the Israel Film Archive and the National Center for Jewish Film. From this rare archival footage, director Ya’akov Gross has created a vital and accessible look at a formative period in Israeli history whose legacy coninues to influence Israeli politics even today.
