2008 | 88 minutes | Directed by Yael Kipper and Ronen Zaretsky
WATCH BETWEEN APRIL 30 - MAY 11
Special Live Event: Live Q&A: Yonatan Nir hosting director Ronen Zaretsky
Synopsis:
This is a film about the reunification of two heroes. Two men from vastly different worlds who met at one fateful moment in the history of the state of Israel.
One – the twenty-four-year-old captain of the Exodus ship, a native of the land soon to become Israel, already a hardened sailor, a rebel, rife with the drive to fight the British – is Ike Aharonovich.
Alongside him a thirty-year-old refugee – a gifted speaker and adamant Zionist whose entire family was murdered in the Holocaust; he boards the ship and with the force of his words alone maintains 4,500 refugees at the heart of sea – Mordechai Rozman.
For sixty years each rambled down the path of his own life, until old age kindled the need to talk about things past and the, to impart and share one's feelings. A close look into the lives of these two men reveals the gap between the dream once envisioned aboard the ship and the reality of life in Israel.
