Yitzhak Rabin: The Unknown Washington Years
(52 minutes)

Yitzhak Rabin shocks everyone when, at the end of his military career (1967) as the victorious hero of the Six-Day War, he tells P.M. Levi Eshkol that he wants to be Israel's ambassador to the U.S.A. This is the story of how Rabin's unique strategic vision changed Washington's relations with Israel from philanthropic supporter to strategic ally.

This film contains exclusive interviews with: Henry Kissinger, President Gerald Ford, Leah Rabin, Marvin Kalb (journalist), Roland Evan (journalists), Joseph Sisco (Assistant Secretary of State), Simcha Dinitz and others. The film also includes unique footage from the never seen Super 8mm movies that Rabin personally filmed.

This film portrays the little known and critical period in the development of Rabin as a leader and demonstrates the unique role played by Rabin in advancing the strategic alliance with the U.S. that proved its value during the "War of Attrition" (1969), the civil war in Jordan (1970) and that has remained the cornerstone of U.S.-Israel relations ever since.
