Year: 1998

Long Night's Journey into Day is a disturbing documentary about the poignant grief expressed by the youth of Israel, who, after all, will be the next generation of soldiers; of their love for Rabin, who they knew was determined to end all wars in the Middle East forever, and their creation of a secular Wailing Wall via graffiti, in Kikar Rabin - as well as a look at the furious shift in Israeli thinking after the four Hamas bombs in February to March (Jerusalem, Ashqelon and Tel Aviv), which Carol Gould experienced first-hand. By May the populace - even the youth - wanted all-out war, and some wanted the death of Shimon Peres.
