What Occupation 101: Voices of the Silenced Majority Is About

The documentary looks at the history of the conflict between Israel and Palestine and at the American role in it. It is built out of interviews with academics, journalists, clergy, former diplomats and people on the ground, and it includes Israeli journalists and figures from human rights organisations. The film by the brothers Sufyan and Abdallah Omeish is an advocacy documentary: it takes a clear side and does not conceal it. That is also what the criticism converged on, that it places responsibility entirely on one party and gives insufficient room to the opposing case. The subject itself remains contested among historians. It won prizes at various independent festivals, one of which was the Golden Palm at the Beverly Hills Film Festival, not the Cannes award of that name.
