Herzl: The man behind Israel

Theodor Herzl: The man behind Israel, is a bold and timely new documentary that traces the visionary, conflicted, and ultimately tragic life of the man who imagined a Jewish homeland long before it became a reality.  

Herzl’s journey is narrated by David Baddiel, with Stephen Fry voicing the words of Herzl. Alongside archival materials and expert commentary, the documentary includes powerful testimonies from both Palestinians and those who witnessed and survived the Holocaust, offering viewers a broad, human lens on a history that continues to shape lives today.
