Occupation 101 Voices of the Silenced Majority 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.

This 7-minute film recreates the Palestinian experience in an English environment. Forwarded to FOL by a supporter in Australia, the film portrays realities that have been well documented by such acclaimed works as Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation by Saree Makdisi. What does this have to do with Lebanon? Everything. It exposes the ugly truth hiding behind the Israeli pretence of, as PM Netanyahu once again just days ago cooed, its “deep desire for peace.”
For over thirty years Israel has delivered death and destruction to Lebanon. For over thirty years Israel has called upon its Western allies to enable its aggressions. For over thirty years Lebanon has been split and splintered over its right to defend itself against the relentless bombardments. All the while, Israel has delivered to the world the carefully crafted image of the democracy of the Middle East seeking liberty and justice for all.
We Westerners have turned away from the ugly truth for which we are so uncomfortably complicit. Perhaps if you watch this film clip, though, which is merely translated to a familiar setting where the people look and sound like we do, then perhaps you can begin to understand the pain and frustration of the Palestinian and Lebanese people. Perhaps you can feel the anguish of being judged unworthy to live. The frustration of knowing the world believes your judge, even as he mocks you with his “deep desire for peace.” |

Not In Our Name Renegade Films brings viewers an inspiring true story of resistance in times of peace and war. Risking imprisonment yet motivated by justice, this is a story of 9 men who took the law into their own hands to fight for a greater good. A moving yet uplifting account of a struggle across continents, the film captures the landmark trial that said to these 9 men that resisting war crimes is not a crime, and that the arms trade is a deplorable, unethical industry which operates in their city, but not in their name.
