/Synopsis/
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.
