“…a valuable historical document…” (The Hollywood Reporter)

Academy Award winner Richard Trank (The Long Way Home) returns to this year’s WJFF with his sensational The Prime Ministers II: Soldiers and Peacemakers, a captivating documentary based on the best-selling book by Ambassador Yehuda Avner (The Prime Ministers). The new film gives a West Wing–esque behind-the-scenes look at key historical events, such as Ambassador Avner’s experiences with prime ministers (Yitzhak Rabin, Menachem Begin, Shimon Peres), his service as Israel’s ambassador to England, and epic events (the rescue at Entebbe, Anwar Sadat’s visit to Jerusalem, the Camp David peace process, the war in Lebanon, the Oslo Accords). Written and produced with Rabbi Marvin Hier, The Prime Ministers II stars the voices of Michael Douglas as Yitzhak Rabin and Christoph Waltz as Menachem Begin. It’s a stunning follow-up to The Prime Ministers I: The Pioneers (WJFF 2013).
