RPL Client Releases Documentary Chronicling 1976 Israeli Raid on Entebbe

RPL is proud to announce the U.S. (May 18, 2012) and international theatrical release of Follow Me: The Yoni Netanyahu Story, written and co-directed (along with Ari Daniel Pinchot) by filmmaker and Firm client Jonathan Gruber of Black Eye Productions, Inc. The documentary tells the stories of the eight days leading up to the Israeli raid on Entebbe on July 4, 1976, during which Israeli commandos freed over 100 hostages, as well as the life story of the leader of that operation, Harvard-educated, 30-year-old Yoni Netanyahu. The film features never-before-seen footage, Yoni’s letters, as well as interviews with friends, military colleagues and family, including Benjamin Netanyahu, Ehud Barak and Shimon Peres.

Jonathan Gruber has been directing award-winning documentary films, commercials and videos for more than twenty years. Projects he has produced and directed – including Jewish Soldiers in the Blue & Gray, which can be seen on PBS stations nationally – have screened at festivals and theaters internationally, as well as on PBS, The History Channel, National Geographic and the Discovery Networks.
