Based on quotes from Zionist leaders, old newspaper clippings, previously unseen archives, historians' accounts and testimonies of old Palestinians, this historical investigation retraces the start of Zionism and the gradual colonisation of Palestinian land, from the end of the 19th century until the eve of the founding of the State of Israel in 1948.
