In Development

At Moriah Films, every project begins with a vision to illuminate history, honor memory, and inspire new generations through the power of film. Building on our Academy Award–winning legacy, we are developing bold new works that expand our storytelling into fresh frontiers, from groundbreaking documentaries to our first narrative films and series.

BEN-GURION PROJECT (UNTITLED)

Narrated by Julianna Margulies
Premiere Date: May 2026

This documentary traces the life of David Ben-Gurion, Israel’s first prime minister, from his childhood in Poland to his pivotal role in founding the State of Israel. Featuring rare archives and new footage from Plonsk, Tel Aviv, and Kibbutz Sde Boker, the film highlights his leadership during the 1948 War of Independence and Israel’s formative years.

Lost Paradise

A journey of loss and rebirth
Premiere Date: 2026

Ever since the phenomenal success of Fiddler on the Roof, which introduced the shtetls of Eastern Europe and Sholem Aleichem’s unforgettable Tevye the Dairyman to the American imagination, few works for television or film have touched upon the Jewish world of Eastern Europe prior to its extermination in the Holocaust. This is the aspiration of Lost Paradise—to portray the rich Jewish world that thrived for centuries before the establishment of the State of Israel through a storyline that unfolds over three seasons: the first focused on the shtetl, the second on the Holocaust, and the third on the birth of Israel.
