This four part drama follows the stories of an 18-year-old Londoner on a visit to present-day Israel and her grandfather, a soldier in the British peace-keeping force in 1940s Palestine. She sets off to spend the summer with her Jewish friend, taking her grandfather’s diary with her to learn more about his life. Intrigued by his story, which begins on the final days of the Second World War, she retraces his steps in a bid to understand and fulfill a promise he made more than 60 years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

THE PROMISE <\/strong>sets a turbulent and moving story against the backdrop of the world’s most complex, tragic and intractable conflict – that between Israel and Palestine. It is set in two timeframes – Israel today, and the British Mandate period after the Second World War, just before the modern state of Israel was created. At that time British soldiers were trying to keep the peace as the trickle of Jews into the region became a flood of desperate humanity after The Holocaust.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
