This is an incisive biographical portrait
of Israel's controversial Prime Minister.
A veteran of the 1948 War for Independence,
since the Yom Kippur War of 1973 the longtime
General has often been compared to Napoleon,
a comparsion he has accepted with grace.

The film includes interviews with political allies
and critics, friends and family, activists and historians.

While some claim that, in truth, Sharon represents
the policy of all Israeli governments (but without
ambiouous or evasive words), others question
whether h is anachronistic reliance on naked, brutal
force when dealing with the Palestinians will mark
the end of the Zionist dream.
