Follows Sharon's term as PM from the moment he was elected. The series goes through his leadership under mass terror attacks, his willingness to support the two-state solution, his decision to start Operation Defensive Shield in 2002, his demand from the Palestinians to replace Yasser Arafat as a condition for all negotiations, the establishment of the separation fence, and the disengagement from Gaza that turned his greatest supporters into sworn enemies. In addition, the series returns to selected chapters in Sharon's life as a child in Kfar Malal, as a family person, as a soldier and as minister in Israeli governments. Among the interviewees: Gilad Sharon, Dov Weissglas, Eyal Bronze, Uri Monday, Moshe Kaplinsky, Israel Maymon, Assi Yavni, Tzipi Livni, Gideon Saar and Aria Eldad.
