Yair Lapid's Election Campaign { 20 images } Created 20 Mar 2015

In 2013 elections Yair Lapid, with his new party 'Yesh-Atid' (translated from Hebrew to 'There is future') was the rising star of Israeli politics. Bringing exceptional charisma and tireless campaigning Lapid made it to be the biggest surprise of 2013 elections. After servign as the Minster of Finance for nearly two years Lapid was fired by PM Netanyahu, what led to the general elections of 2015.

Lapid has been exhaustively traveling across the country, directly meeting tens of thousands of Israelis. Lapid, a former journalist, author and TV presenter is a master of talking to the media but at the same time he is a master of reaching out to the people. Lapid, who enjoys so much the direct interaction with people, magnetizes them and they love him back.

This documentary is a result of following Lapid on the road for three months of his election campaign.

בבחירות 2013 היה יאיר לפיד, ביחד עם מפלגת יש עתיד, להפתעת הבחירות ונסק כמטאור בשמי הפוליטיקה הישראלית. עם הצטרפות מפלגתו לממשלה שהוקמה מונה לפיד לתפקיד שר האוצר ותוך שנתיים, כשפוטר מהתפקיד על ידי ראש הממשלה נתניהו, ניתן האות לפירוק הממשלה והקדמת הבחירות.
בבחירות 2015 יצא לפיד אל מסע הבחירות כדי להוכיח שהוא ומפלגתו אינם תופעה חולפת ושהם חלק מהמפה הפוליטית הישראלית. לפיד חרש את הארץ באינסוף מפגשים עם ישירים עם עשרות אלפי ישראלים. לפיד, עיתונאי וקריין טלוויזיה מצליח, ניחן בכריזמה יוצאת דופן ויכולת עמידה מול התקשורת. הוא ממגנט אליו את האנשים כשנראה שהוא נהנה לא פחות מהקשר הישיר, והאנשים אוהבים אותו בחזרה. תוצאות הבחירות היו אכזבה ללפיד שנחלש משמעותית בכנסת אך מצד שני קבעו שהוא ומפלגתו אינם תופעה חולפת אלא חלק מהנוף הפוליטי הישראלי.
