In honor of the centennial celebrations of the founding of Tel Aviv Yaakov Gross presents in a new documentary the 40 years which shaped the neighborhood which grew into a city. The historical story of Tel Aviv was captured on film from its founding. The movie "Legend in the Dunes" follows the development of the building of the new city across from the ancient city of Yaffo. Its founders, builders and bohemia who settled there installed a new spirit in the awakening Land of Israel, in times when it was hard to believe the Zionist dream would be fulfilled. The building of the first Hebrew city was for its founders the creation of a miniature "Jewish State." The film is interspersed with amazing archival footage from both the Steven Spielberg Jewish film Archive - Hebrew University and the Israel Film Archive - Jerusalem Cinemateque as well as rare footage being shown for the first time from various worldwide sources.
