Director Jonathan Gruber, a 2020 Pittsburgh Shorts alumnus with his short doc, Stu, delivers an insightful look at one of Israel&rsquo;s most legendary leaders in Upheaval: The Journey of Menachem Begin. Fierce in his devotion to the Jewish people, Begin was a pillar of the State of Israel. Having been jailed by the Soviets for his pre-war Zionist activities and deeply affected by loss in the Holocaust, he was often demonized as a fascist and terrorist after founding the right-wing Likud party. But Begin would go on to be remembered as one of Israel&rsquo;s most democratic prime ministers as he defended Jewish immigration and eventually signed the historic peace accord with Egypt&rsquo;s Anwar Sadat. Upheaval is rich with rarely seen archival footage and astute interviews that offer illuminating insights into the man who, born into war, would become a complex and controversial leader who never gave up on achieving peace.
