The incredible story of Operation Solomon, Israel’s airlift of the Ethiopian
Jewish community to Israel. Using documentary footage and reenactments, this
film follows Asher Naim, the Israeli ambassador to Ethiopia, as he navigates
the worlds of bureaucracy and politics in a region racked
by civil war, on a seemingly insurmountable mission to bring 15,000 Jews out
of Ethiopia, finding himself facing a crisis of faith.
