Yitzhak Rabin

Gaza Ghetto: Portrait of a Family, 1948 – 1984 is a documentary film about the life of a Palestinian family living in the Jabalia refugee camp. The film, created by Joan Mandell, Pea Holmquist, and Pierre Bjorklund in 1984 is believed to be the first documentary ever made in Gaza. The film features Ariel Sharon, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer and soldiers on patrol "candidly discuss[ing] their responsibilities." The film follows a refugee family from the Gaza Strip who visit the site of their former village, now a Jewish town in Israel. As the grandfather and great-grandfather point out an orchard and sycamore fig that belonged to Muhammed Ayyub and Uncle Khalil, an Israeli resident appears and tells them to leave, claiming they need a permit to be there. The mother tells him that, "We work in Jaffa and Tel Aviv and that's not forbidden," to which he replies, "Here it's forbidden."

Amos Gitai revient dans les territoires occupés pour la première fois depuis son documentaire de 1982 FIELD DIARY. À L'OUEST DU JORDANIE décrit les efforts des citoyens, Israéliens et Palestiniens, qui tentent de surmonter les conséquences de l'occupation. Le film de Gitai montre les liens humains tissés par les militaires, les militants des droits humains, les journalistes, les mères en deuil et même les colons juifs. Face à l'échec de la politique à résoudre le problème de l'occupation, ces hommes et ces femmes se lèvent et agissent au nom de leur conscience civique. Cette énergie humaine est une proposition de changement attendue depuis longtemps.

Leila Khaled was the first woman to hijack a plane. In 1969, she showed her grenades to the terrified passengers by order of the Che Guevara commando unit of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. Through the ensuing media bombardment, she put the Palestinian nation on the global map. The pretty 24-year-old Leila became a hero to many Palestinians, including the Swedish/Palestinian teenager Lina Makboul, who is now a filmmaker. At least Leila dared to do something, Lina thought at the time. She visits Leila 35 years later with a camera, and finds a woman who does not regret anything.
