A Caged Bird's Song
Sobhi Zobaidi, 2003, 30 minutes, DVD
Almost one third of Palestinians in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip are school and university students. Under
Israeli occupation Palestinian education has been a
constant struggle rather than a basic right. This film
examines the more recent history of that struggle during
Israel's current war of attrition on the civilian population
under its control.

In The Name of Security
Emily Kunstler and Sarah Kunstler, 2002, 27 minutes, VHS
In May of 2002, a delegation from the National Lawyers
Guild traveled throughout the West Bank to investigate
allegations of war crimes by the Israeli military. What
the delegation found was a state-sponsored campaign
aimed at destroying the identity and culture of the
Palestinian people. This film documents what they saw.
Through interviews and documentation of destroyed cities
and impassable checkpoints, the video describes a brutal
occupation designed to prevent statehood.

Peace, Propaganda, and
the Promised Land
Bathsheba Ratzkoff & Sut Jhally, 2003, 80 minutes, DVD
This pivotal video exposes how the foreign policy interests
of American political elites--working in combination
with Israeli public relations strategies--exercise a
powerful influence over news reporting about the Middle
East conflict. Combining American and British TV news
clips with observations of analysts, journalists, and
political activists, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised
Land provides an examination of factors that have distorted
U.S. media coverage and, in turn, American public opinion.

TV's Promised Land
Nicholas Dembowski, 2003, 75 minutes, DVD
A clever montage of found footage from Hollywood movies,
cable news networks, European news broadcasts, American
Westerns, etc. The accumulated evidence powerfully asserts
that Western media has long demonized a catch-all "Arab/Muslim
world" via selective coverage and dehumanizing
imagery that boosts the "good vs. evil" rhetoric
of politicians and pundits.
