To film this in the heart of Palestine / Israel was an extraordinary feat . Nothing is spared but the brutal truth of a much wronged people left once again by a U. K. " peacekeeping " force to be butchered and annexed . Afghanistan reminds us we still haven't changed . What shocked me was to learn Terrorism was initiated by the immigrant Jewish fanatics not the indigenous Arabs , who 70 years later are still terrorised and beaten down. It's not polemical though . A powerful story observes history without comment as people struggle to coexist . Beautifully made , acted and shot . Thrilling.
