The Palestinians

43 mins | Documentary | Jan. 7, 1975

Shot in Lebanon in 1975 just before the civil war. Starting from the economically opportunistic backing of the Zionist project, the director delivers a nuanced account of the complexities surrounding the ‘Palestinian issue’, touching most vitally on the global interests and fluxes of oil, in whose name one people is displaced and persecuted while another is hypocritically ‘defended’.
