About the Film

Between 1968 and 2008, Yavin was the anchor of Mabat, the primetime news roundup on Israel's state television station. He was known in Israel as "Mr. Television" and often perceived as the "voice" of Israel. In 2005, Yavin sparked political controversy with his five-part documentary series The Land of the Settlers, aired on Israel's Channel 2. In August 2007, Yavin announced his retirement, and read the news for the last time on 5 February 2008. Most recently, he is the creator of the documentary series, ID Blues.
