WJFF Presents: The Zionist Idea

An in-depth exploration of one of the most relevant, pressing and timely political ideologies of the modern era. The film frames Zionism’s birth as resulting from Jewish confrontation with modernity, along with the renewed persecution of Jews throughout Europe in the late 1800s. This complex history is examined through a comprehensive set of Israeli, Palestinian, Jewish and Arab accounts.

Now, amid religious conflict in the Middle East, it is crucial for Americans to better understand the meaning, history and future of the movement.
