Barack Obama,
Barbra Streisand to Appear In Shimon Peres Documentary ‘Never Stop Dreaming’
by Jerome Hudson
2 Aug 2017
Actress and
singer Barbra Streisand will appear
alongside former President Barack Obama in Never Stop Dreaming: The Life and Legacy
of Shimon Peres, a forthcoming
documentary about the late president and prime minister of Israel.
Oscar-winning documentary film director Richard
Trank (The Long Way Home) will helm the project, which is being
produced by Moriah Films, the documentary film production division of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center.
“We’re in the final stages now and the plan is to now
have it done in the middle to latter part of the fall,” Trank told
the Hollywood Reporter.
Before Peres’ unexpected death last September,
some 60 hours of interviews were recorded. Obama was reportedly
interviewed in Washington, D.C., last July.
“The president said he was so honored to do this and we
were so honored to be sitting there with him. It was a great experience,” says
Rabbi Marvin Hier of Obama, who spoke at Peres’ memorial service in
Jerusalem. Hier added that Obama and Peres “had a shared love of history and
literature.”
Filmmakers hope to have a finished product by this fall,
shop it around the festival circuit, and premiere the film for a benefit
for the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
Also appearing alongside Obama and Streisand in the film,
among other global figures, will be Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu,
British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and former President Bill Clinton.
