Synopsis
“I Was There in Color” is an extraordinary, never before seen story of the birth of Israel in color! The historic footage was shot by Fred Monosson, a Jewish-American businessman from Brookline, MA who died in 1972. Until this discovery, the history of Israel was captured only in black and white. Now, for the first time, Israel’s history is told in color.
“I Was There in Color” pays tribute to this unsung hero and to the many American Jews who volunteered and contributed so much to the realization of the creation of the Jewish State.
