I guess I was lucky to be able to watch this film in full early this morning....it's now been pulled from the Internet. Money rules once again. Here is something else that gives a glimpse of this great film.
A documentary on a Palestinian farmer's chronicle of his nonviolent resistance to the actions of the Israeli army.
There is no doubt in may mind - this is fascism in action. And remember, the US taxpayers are paying for Israel's stealing of land from the Palestinians and we are paying for the building of that damn separation wall.
And somehow, in the midst of all the horrible treatment of the Palestinian people, they remain non-violent. It is truly amazing what they do. This brilliant film is their story.
I saw filmmaker Emad Burnat a few months ago when he came to speak at Bowdoin College in nearby Brunswick. I was moved by his quiet determined nature and when he was finished I stood to honor his courage and love for his people and his land.
