In the presence of the director

This documentary uses eyewitness accounts and unique archive material to reveal the previously unknown background to "Operation Solomon", which brought 15,000 Jews from Ethiopia to Israel over 30 years ago. It tells the story of the perilous actions of Jewish-Ethiopian activists in Ethiopia, Israel and North America in the run-up to and during Operation 2021, which was intended to evacuate the remaining Beta Israel.
