The Long Way Home is a documentary that chronicles the journey of European Jews from the aftermath of the Third Reich's fall in 1945 to the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948. The film argues that the creation of Israel was crucial due to the challenging conditions faced by the survivors in post-war Europe.
The documentary depicts the harrowing scenes of death in concentration camps post-liberation, where many perished from diseases or even overeating. It also sheds light on the brutal pogroms that targeted those who attempted to return to their homes, as well as the dire living conditions in displaced persons camps.
With strict immigration restrictions imposed by the British in Palestine, many Jews resorted to illegal means to seek passage, often ending up in locked camps in Cyprus. Amidst these challenges, the film captures the debates and negotiations between Jews in Palestine, President Truman in the White House, and UN delegates regarding the formation of Israel.
