Special Screening: Follow Me - The Yoni Netanyahu Story
Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story shares the life of the quiet Israel hero who was once a Harvard poet and brother to a future Prime Minister. On July 4th, 1976, Yoni and his elite group of Israeli soldiers rescued more than 100 hostages held captive in Uganda's Entebbe Airport by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Yoni was the sole Israeli casualty.
Yoni's story is told through his letters, photos, poetry and interviews with three Israeli Prime Ministers, Yoni’s family and recently released audio from the Entebbe operation itself. The film brings a rare portrait of Israel’s elite soldiers, and one of their greatest heroes, to the big screen.
