Through the lens of a personal story and firsthand testimony, the film illuminates the human spirit, resilience, and the shared values that lie at the heart of our common humanity.<\/span>\r\n\r\nMelissa Francis is neither Jewish nor Muslim. She embarked on this journey without a preconceived position, but found a mission: to confront the fog of misinformation in the United States and advocate for truth, for our children, and for the world they will inherit.<\/span>\r\n\r\nThe evening will begin with a reception and cocktail gathering, followed by remarks from U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee. Afterwards, Francis, the film\u2019s writer and director, will share insights into the creative process and the journey behind the film\u2019s production. She will then be joined by the film\u2019s cinematographer, Amir Sheinbaum, for a fireside chat. The evening will conclude with an audience Q&A session.<\/span>\r\n\r\nBringing together filmmakers, journalists, and guests from Israel and the United States, the Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem is proud to present a film that sparks conversation about leadership, freedom, and human resilience. It offers a unique opportunity to engage directly with the filmmakers and explore the human, social, and moral questions at the heart of the story.<\/span>\r\n\r\nAdmission is free of charge with advance registration. Seating is limited. Registration will open soon.<\/span>\r\n

About the Film<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nOn October 7, Erez Eshel warns his son: \u201cStay alert\u2014something big is going to happen tomorrow.\u201d At 6:30 the following morning, his son confirms that intuition in a phone call.<\/span>\r\n\r\nEshel puts on his uniform and rushes to Gaza, fighting shoulder to shoulder with his sons. Over the next two years, he is drawn deep into the war, determined to defend his people and bring everyone home. Then comes a dramatic turn: Eshel\u2019s name becomes linked to allegations of genocide brought before the International Criminal Court.<\/span>\r\n\r\nInterwoven with footage from the 1990 documentary <\/span>To Be an Officer<\/span><\/i>, which portrays a twenty-year-old Eshel as an idealistic cadet, <\/span>The Prophet<\/span><\/i> traces his journey from a young man filled with faith and hope to a seasoned soldier, mentor, teacher, and leader.<\/span>\r\n\r\nWith intimate access to Eshel\u2019s journey, political urgency, and spiritual depth, the film poses a timeless question: What is the price of freedom\u2014and who is willing to pay it?<\/span>","short_description":"The Museum of Tolerance Jerusalem is honored to invite the public to a special gala evening marking the Israeli premiere of The Prophet, the new documentary by award-winning journalist and bestselling author Melissa Francis.\r\n","good_to_know_title":"Event Program","good_to_know":"
