Just Vision (the folks behind the documentary films "Encounter Point" and "Budrus") has just released "Home Front" - a new series of four video portraits that profiles Palestinians fighting Israeli settler takeover of their homes in Sheikh Jarrah as well as Israeli solidarity activists who are standing with them in their struggle.
If you 're unfamiliar with the situation in Sheikh Jarrah (and similar circumstances in other parts of E. Jerusalem and the West Bank) this film will provide you with a powerful and expertly documented introduction. Click above to see the first clip. Click here for to see all four.
Highly recommended.
A Palestinian teenager whose family is forced to give up part of their
home and live under the same roof as a family of settlers. He comes of
age in the face of unrelenting tension with his neighbors and unexpected
cooperation with Israeli allies in his backyard.
An American-born Israeli mother who to her own surprise becomes
involved in the demonstrations after her children are arrested for
protesting.
A Palestinian community organizer from Sheikh Jarrah who spearheads the involvement of local women in the movement while facing the risk of losing her own home to the settlers.
A former Israeli soldier from a religious background who only several years after his combat service in the West Bank finds himself taking on a leading role in the protests.
