Synopsis

Since 1914, "the Guardian" was closely involved with the creation of the state of Israel, a dream that was to become a nightmare for the indigenous Arabs. Based on newspaper archives, correspondence files, and interviews with journalists, this is the story of how the newspaper has since tried to match truthful reporting with the growing sensitivities of the Jewish community.
