Documentary: Occupation 101, Voices of the Silenced Majority More Videos, films and documentaries
A thought-provoking and powerful
documentary film on the current and historical root causes of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever
produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents a
comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths
surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its
long-perceived myths and misconceptions. The film also details life under Israeli
military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict,
and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and
viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through
first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East
scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and
humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed
in American media outlets. The film covers a wide range of topics --
which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from
Europe in the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967
war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process,
Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government,
the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the
Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching
testimonials from victims of this tragedy.
