Long Live King David
King David, the famed sovereign, united all tribes of Israel into one kingdom.
However, a growing number of scholars now believe that this story is no more than a fable. The film is trying to reveal the truth and discovers that where famed biblical battles were once held, archeologists now vie for prestige and honor, left-wing and right-wing proponents wage ideological battles, and Palestinians and Jews fight for the land and for a place in history.
