In this documentary, the late 19th century birth of Zionism - and its repercussions for Palestinians- is detailed with original source documents, Zionist leaders' quotations, rare archival footage, testimonies of witnesses and interviews with historians. All help to illustrate that the expulsion of the indigenous Arab population from Palestine was far from an accidental result of the 1948 war. This award-winning film shines a spotlight on the ethnic cleansing of Palestine by the Zionist movement.

In 1975, a group of young Lebanese men were affiliated with the Palestinian Resistance Organization "Fateh". Some of them sacrified their life in the course of the Civil War. Now that the war has gone, a bunch of those fighters are considered survivors, but they keep themselves alive by nursing their souls with alcohols, poetry and laughter.

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 Job has been put together from over six hours of archival material shot in the offensive against the city of Fallujah, Iraq. The footage was originally recorded by a journalist embedded with American assault troops, who were the only ones authorised to record images or approach the area before, during and after the fighting. Years later, the journalist posted the unedited footage on a temporary web site, adding a classical music soundtrack, as an “Iraqi souvenir” for the marines who participated in the attack: “to all the marines of kilo 3/5. Nick and Geoff send their thanks for all your acts of kindness and generosity…” This footage was captured online by Jean Pierre Gambarotta and Perro Loco from Caracas Libertaria, and edited by Abu Ali.

The voice of the tour guide takes the viewer through wobbly Super 8 pictures which Irshaid's Palestinian father took on a family trip to Palestine / Israel in the 1970s. An ironic portrait offering an alternative to the images in the mass media.
