Synopsis:
With meticulous research and detail, THE LONG WAY HOME traces the journey to the promised land. At the time, Palestine was occupied by Great Britain who tried to prevent the stream of refugees seeking freedom as the world stood by, seemingly indifferent.This harrowing experience so immediately after WWII is told to the backdrop of Truman's White House, the foundation of the UN, the beginnings of the Cold War, and the aftermath of war torn Europe. It has been called the definitive documentary depicting the historic events leading to the foundation of Israel.Narrated by MORGAN FREEMAN, with voices of ED ASNER, MARTIN LANDAU, & MICHAEL YORK."Extraordinary both in scope and execution, THE LONG WAY HOME is one of the finest and most accomplished historical documents you may ever have the opportunity to see."-Sundance Film Festival

Excellent movie...can't describe in words the power of the jewish people and their longing to live and to create a place of their own! The Jewish people lived for hell for many more years even after they were, "liberated". It's a must watch documentary and like many others who use this service would agree with me that this is one of the few good films CN has to offer!

Good piece of work!! Reel (Real) footage, of Jewish History, starting after the end of WWII and liberation. Followed, by the three years leading up to the beginning of the Jewish State in Palestine in 1948. The end of WWII was not the end of struggle, as this Documentary shows.
