November 2017 marks the centenary of the Balfour Declaration by the British Foreign Secretary which gave backing to Zionist aspirations and led to the establishment of the State of Israel.

Jane Corbin embarks on a journey through Israel - tracing what happened after the Balfour Declaration and how it still reverberates today.
