It Is No Dream: The Life Of Theodor Herzl
It Is No Dream: The Life of Theodor Herzl, Moriah Films' most recent production, delves into the life and times of Theodor Herzl, the father of modern Israel. The film, narrated by Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley and starring Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz as the voice of Theodor Herzl, examines how Herzl, a well-known journalist and playwright, an assimilated, Budapest-born Jew, horrified by the Dreyfus trial in Paris and the anti-Semitism he saw spreading across Europe, took on the task of attempting to create a Jewish homeland in Palestine against all odds. Over the course of eight years, Herzl organized and led a worldwide political movement that resulted in the establishment of the state of Israel within 50 years. The film follows Herzl as he meets with Kings, Prime Ministers, Ambassadors, a Sultan, a Pope, and government ministers from Constantinople to St. Petersburg, Paris to Berlin, and Vienna to Vilna in his quest to establish a Jewish nation.
