documentary
The story of B Huberman...Polish violin prodigy who escaped from Germany in 1935 and founded the Palestine symphony orchestra. Inspirational but I suppose of necessity very pro zionist which cast a dark shadow on the celebration.
Minimal mention of the people who were already living there, who are depicted as mindless obstructionists...similar to the attitude of the europeans who came to North America. Also no note taken of the violence it took, and takes, for the settlers to maintain their hegemony over this troubled land. The focus was entirely on music. Selective history lesson.
