Commissioned by American Friends of the Israel Philharmonic (AFIPO), the film traces Bernstein’s lifetime commitment to Israel’s social causes and includes iconic moments such as the concert after the Six-Day War when Bernstein conducted the Israel Philharmonic in Hatikvah at the newly liberated Western Wall.
