Shimon Peres: the last of the founders of Israel, architect of their nuclear programme, Nobel Peace Prize winner, twice Prime Minister and current President in a career spanning seven decades at the heart of the Middle East conflict. Narrated by Helena Bonham Carter, this personal, melancholic and powerfully political documentary reveals the human sacrifices required and the realities behind being a world leader. With unprecedented access to Peres and his inner circle – including his granddaughter and former Palestinian Prime Minister, Ahmed Qurei – Shimon Peres discloses the challenges of establishing peace and building a nation whilst battling to maintain family life under the constant threat of assassination.
