90 minutes • English/Arabic with English Subtitles
Festivals: WINNER Golden Palm Award Int’l Beverly Hills Film Festival 2007
Occupation 101 presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict 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.
Unlike any other film produced on the conflict, Occupation 101 explains the complicated reality with precision storytelling and gives audiences a complete context in which to better understand the Israeli-Palestinian debate. The roots of the conflict are explained with thought-provoking commentaries from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders, and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media.
