“Legend of Destruction” brings to cinema for the first time one of the greatest stories in history – the story of the Jewish revolt in the Roman Empire that degenerated into civil war and led to the destruction of the Second Temple.

Let this new and mysterious market discover their work. ‘
Artist David Polonsky added: “Why are we interested in the innovative world of NFT because it is an interesting experiment on how art is expressed? Is it art? Who actually owns a work of art? These are all innovative questions with the same energy that led us to produce this film. “
