This early film biography of the founder of modern Zionism depicts
a young Herzl learning about Jewish persecution throughout the ages,
and developing his theory of political Zionism, which he saw as the
only solution to anti-semitism. The film then follows Herzl's efforts
to implement his ideas by converting European leaders and Jews to
his cause. (Written by National Center for Jewish Film)
