It Is No Dream is a 2012 American documentary film written and directed by Richard Trank, based on original materials created by Trank and Rabbi Marvin Hier, with whom Trank co-produced the film. The film chronicles the life and struggles of famous Zionist and "spiritual father of the Jewish state" Theodor Herzl, as he abandons his comfortable life in Europe to fulfill his objective to return the Jewish people to their ancient homeland. The film discusses to great length the Anti-Semitism faced by Jews in Europe in the late 19th century and early 20th century, and how Herzl's legacy impacted the lives of the Jewish people in Israel and around the world.
