Insightful, Innovative, Interesting and Impartial

Having seen the premier of this recently, I must say that I was impressed by the innovative way the film was put together, telling a complicated story about an interesting and charismatic leader in a way that helped you understand the man - not the politics.

The film is really well shot with access to some amazing people who were very close to Arafat (his wife for example). Mixing archive footage with recently shot interviews, you get a real flavour for the man not that the dust has settled (for him at least).

There are no judgments here, just stories and information. If you have any interest in the region, politics, the middle east, war or leadership then this is highly recommended as no doubt the follow-up on Shimon Peres will be too.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
