A beautifully crafted piece Jon Snow, Journalist and Broadcaster Outstanding! The National Graphic, dramatic and Emphatic. Tim Llewellyn, Former BBC Middle East Correspondent 'You photographed my heart, not my body'. 'The Price of Kings' is epic in scope, themes and revelations of the real price of power. For me, the fascinating thing about the documentary is that it looks at world leaders from a human perspective. Its not about what they stand for politically, but what sacrifices they have made to be a leader; to do what they believe to be right. It is very unique, in its approach to documentary film-making and in terms of the angle taken.
I would highly recommend it if you really want to get under the skin of what it takes to be a world leader. This isn't a film about the politics of the conflict; it's about a person at its heart, and those closest to him....One of the hardest things about making a documentary on the Israel-Palestine conflict is making it original; the conflict has been explored countless times. If you want people to watch you have to offer something new. The film certainly scored a coup in that area.
