Journalist and peace fighter Uri Avneri is a man who Israelis have loved to hate for over 50 years. “The last Mohican of the radical left”, Avneri has devoted his life to promoting the idea of two states for two nations, and for this he has paid a price: the head of the General Security Services proclaimed him Public Enemy #1, the offices of his newspaper were burned down and several attempts were made at his life. Despite his significant contribution to shaping the State of Israel, Avneri lives on the fringe of Israeli public opinion, and is a living example of the saying “one cannot be a prophet in ones own city”.
Uri Avneri: A Warrior for Peace deals with memory and oblivion through the story of a complex and controversial man whose life encompasses the spirit of a period and the history of a nation, one of the last of a generation for whom ideology, political fervor and the belief that it is possible to change the world (or at least, to build a just society in Israel) did not provoke contemptuous post-modern derision. The film combines interviews with associates and archival footage to recount Avneri’s life story, while following Avneri and his wife Rachel during the dramatic two years preceding and during the Al-Aqsa Intifada, a period that turned Avneri’s dream into a more remote possibility.
