Dayan: The First Family

From the Labor Party to the settlements, there is one Israeli family whose presence reaches across history, politics, and even the arts, and whose names are prominent in every aspect of the State since its inception. Its most famous son, Moshe, throughout his life and even decades after his death, still casts a giant shadow over the family, known as one of the most enigmatic in Israel. This is the first film ever to present the story of the Dayan family — aka "The Israeli Kennedys" — as five generations tell their saga, which is so intricately woven into the narrative of the State of Israel. With an overwhelming amount of talent, as well as depression and madness, Dayan family sons and daughters — the military personnel, the politicians, the poets, the directors, the writers, the rock stars and the others who couldn't take the toll of fame — voice their unique perspectives in this intimate, sometimes scandalous and often fascinating exploration of an Israeli dynasty that has lasted more than 100 years.
