The documentary, produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s film division, Moriah Films, began filming during the final months of Prime Minister Peres’ life before he suffered a stroke and passed away in September of 2016 at 93.
The film is punctuated by world leaders speaking of their experiences with Peres, among them British Prime Minister Tony Blair, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and former U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama. Moving the film along is the narration of actor George Clooney. The filmmakers distilled the two-hour documentary from over 60 hours of interviews and many years of research.
