Jeremy Hardly v
The Israeli Army
|
Starring Hardy Hardy ,
Chris Dunham , Leila Sansour
Directed by Leila Sansour
This dark comedic documentary narrated by Hardy is a story of
 an
unlikely person put in extraordinary circumstances. Hardy teamed up
with producer/director Leila Sansour and other members of the
International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in an effort to try his hand
at ending occupation of the West Bank. Hardy could only describe the
next four days of filming as “four days in hell.”
The footage captured covers everything from the standoff at Yasser
Arafat’s compound to the siege at the Church of the Nativity. It
gives an inside look into the operations and birth of the ISM and
the stories that were never reported in last year’s news bulletins.
Three previous screenings of the film at the Bloomsbury have
attracted more than 1800 people- the phenomenal response from
audiences means Jeremy Hardy v. the Israeli Army now stands as one
of a handful of documentaries to make it to cinemas around the UK,
responding to the growing appetite for political engagement,
independent film making and the growing interest in the
International Solidarity Movement.
London screenings will offer viewers the opportunity to meet the
director and other members of the movement.
