As the elections approach, director Avi Mograbi sets out to make a documentary film about Israel’s most meligned politician, Arik Sharon. Sharon, a figure admired by many, is a legendary warrior and officer and was a minister in the former Likud government. Mograbi, who was a conscientious objector to the Lebanon War, has personal issues with Sharon, the mastermind of that war. Nevertheless, while making the film, he begins to see Sharon in a different light. To his surprise, Mograbi discovers that Sharon is warm and friendly, completely different from the man he thought him to be. —Nfct.org
