John Pilger's powerful film documents the plight of Palestinians after 36 years of Israeli occupation. After being rejected by other U.S. networks, the WorldLink premiere of the film marked its U.S. television debut. Pilger sees the just resolution of Israeli-Palestinian conflict as the key to peace in the region. In a series of extraordinary interviews with both Palestinians and Israelis, Pilger weaves together the strands of despair typical of daily Palestinian existence. He speaks to the families of suicide bombers and their victims, visits overcrowded, unsanitary refugee camps, and documents the abuse and neglect of Palestinians by Israeli guards at the military roadblocks which now proliferate throughout the occupied territories. As the film shows, Palestinians are regularly harassed, beaten, denied passage to hospitals for medical care, and even murdered at these checkpoints. For more on John Pilger, click here.
