A hybrid film that incorporates actual historical footage and dramatized scenes, Exodus 91 tells the story of Operation Solomon, the 2-day airlift in May 1991, that brought almost the entire Ethiopian Jewish population—15,000 men, women and children—to Israel in non-stop flights of 35 Israeli aircraft. In it, we see Israeli diplomat, Asher Naim, on a seemingly insurmountable mission in a country collapsing under famine and civil war. With rebel forces closing in on the capital, and as Asher learns more about these African Jews, he finds himself between worlds as he navigates the treacherous world of bureaucracy and politics.
