As we mark Israel's 75th birthday, we look back at the days when the country was just a dream, and at the man who dreamed it.

Author Matti Friedman and news anchor Tamar Ish Shalom   in a special conversation about the enigmatic character of Theodor Herzl. Using his writing, and with rare footage, they  return to his foundational works and discuss the gap between vision and reality.
