Occupation 101
VIVA PALESTINE
Award-winning documentary film on the root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict.
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.
