Join us for the New York City premier of Upheaval: The Journey of Menachem Begin presented by JOIN Israel. This is a fundraiser for JOIN Lifeline, providing aid to impoverished elderly Israelis.

About Upheaval: A proud yet scarred leader haunted by the Holocaust and decades of war, former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin struggled to balance history and heroism to make peace with his greatest enemy and cement a legacy long misunderstood. His life is a nuanced and complicated canvas that tells the story of key events and currents in the history of modern Israel and its relationship to its Middle East neighbors. With evocative imagery, rarely seen archival materials, and revealing interviews with those who knew him, UPHEAVAL portrays the life and essence of this brilliant, tough, complex, loving, and proud man who never compromised when the survival of Israel and the Jewish people were at stake.

Q&A Following Film:

Rob Schwartz: Rob Schwartz is the Founder of Hidden Light Institute and the Executive Producer of Upheaval. Five years ago he was stirred about Menachem Begin after reading Prime Ministers by the late Yehuda Avner. After discovering a documentary on Begin’s life did not exist he decided to make the first English documentary on his life.

Dr. Avi Shilon: Avi Shilon, a historian and political scientist, is the author of Menachem Begin: A Life (Yale University Press, 2012), Ben-Gurion: His Later Years in the Political Wilderness (Rowman and Littlefield, 2016), and, most recently, The Decline of the Left Wing in Israel: Yossi Beilin and the Politics of the Peace Process (I.B.Tauris, 2020). He teaches at NYU and contributes op-ed pieces to Haaretz.

Third Panelist: To be announced

Moderator: Rachel Greenberg: Rachel Greenberg is a Producer and the English language researcher for Upheaval. Rachel recently worked on Dreaming of Jerusalem, a documentary short about the Falash Mura community, which is currently streaming as a discovery+ original, and is involved in a two-season, period drama that will be streaming globally in 2022. Rachel holds a BA in International Relations from the University of Pennsylvania and an MBA in Strategy and Marketing from Yale School of Management.
