There's an interesting British miniseries called "The Promise" that aired several years ago.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...mise_(2011_TV_serial)It's a fictional story of a modern British girl who travels to Israel to track down info on her grandfather, who was a British Para during the British withdrawal from Palestine and the following founding of Israel.
It bounces back and forth between her modern day travels in Israel, and her grandfather's service in Israel immediately prior to independence in 1948.
It's an interesting look at the British experience in 1948, which is something that's often overlooked. And it gives some insight into the early history of Israel too.
