What If? Ehud Barak on War and Peace  (Ma Haya Kore Elu? Ehud Barak Al Milchama VeShalom)

What If? Ehud Barak on War and Peace

Can a leader succeed in influencing the world? Or is he a human being like anyone else, only a grain of sand tossed to the waves of history with no ability to affect it? Tolstoy pondered this question in War and Peace, and Ehud Barak, the controversial former prime minister of Israel, contemplates it in this new documentary.

Twenty years after he was forced to resign from the premiership due to the failure of the 2000 Camp David summit, 78-year-old Ehud Barak observes his own history and the history of the State of Israel with disillusioned clarity, while trying to figure it all out – ‘What if?’
