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.
