About the Main Film

Discover the extraordinary journey of a university founded from a Zionist dream and transformed into a global scientific powerhouse. Told through the experiences of students, faculty, and philanthropists across generations, this film traces the Technion’s groundbreaking achievements and the challenges it overcame to shape Israel’s future.

Learn how history proved the UK wrong when it lacked the vision to support the establishment of the first technical education facility in Palestine in 1923 – a decision that would ultimately highlight the Technion’s pivotal role in nation-building.

From clandestine resistance activities during the British Mandate to pioneering breakthroughs in engineering, medicine, and technology, the film reveals how the Technion became one of the world’s leading universities and a pillar of the Jewish homeland.
