- Summary:
- The film reveals the hidden story of Beit HaShidur (The Broadcast House), Israel's Arabic-language radio station. Established alongside the State, it served as a key tool for intelligence gathering and psychological warfare against Arab countries in the 1940s-60s. While publicly broadcasting music and news, it secretly pushed propaganda, activated agents via coded messages, and aimed to sway Arab public opinion. The broadcasts soon became a feared force in the region, and rival stations dubbed its presenters "The Israeli Broadcast House's Propaganda Orchestra."
