“Blue Box” is a documentary about an Israeli hero who planted the country’s trees but who is also, perhaps, a villain for uprooting three quarters of a million Arabs from their villages.
Because Yosef Weitz — known both as “Father of the Forests” and “Architect of Transfer” — was in charge of the Jewish National Fund’s Department of Land and Forestry at a formative moment of the new state, the film is also, unavoidably, about the formation of the state of Israel.
