Kishon
1h 27m
A captivating documentary that brings to life the story of Ephraim Kishon — one of Israel’s most influential satirists. Over five decades, Kishon penned iconic columns and plays, sold millions of books, and earned international acclaim, including two Golden Globe wins and two Oscar nominations. Yet, he struggled to tell his own story. At age 70, he invited fellow journalist Yaron London to help unfold his life. Through striking animation, rare archival footage, home movies, and personal interviews, the film recreates their intimate conversations and reveals the man behind the genius.
