Focus on Hero of Israel (statue) and explore the Documentary film.
Beginning in August 2020, when work on the statue had begun, a cooperation agreement between artist Zalait and Israel's Channel 8 (HOT) was forged towards the production of a documentary film which follows the process of creating the statue, which was to be filmed by Itay Raziel. After two months, communications ceased and the production of the film was entrusted in the hands of director and producer Anna Holider while the cinematographer was replaced by Gil Shapiro who received access to previously shot footage.
Shapiro continued to follow the statue's creation process which lasted four months in cooperation with fifteen volunteers and followed its erection at Paris Square in Jerusalem and Rabin Square in Tel-Aviv and all subsequent events pertaining to the statue.
