Tragedy in the
Holy Land - The Second Uprising
Denis
Mueler
Few films about
the Middle East view history through the lens
of the Palestinians, even though they are the
people whose history and daily reality lie at
the heart of events in the region. Tragedy
In the Holy Land: The Second Uprising fills
a void in conventional accounts of the Israeli/Palestinian
struggle. It gives the viewer access to the voices
and background of one of the most misunderstood
and misinterpreted conflicts of the last century,
covering the origins of the dispute and offering
a rare look at the confrontation from a Palestinian
point of view, including remarks and insight from
Palestinians, Jews and other noted scholars.
This provocative
documentary addresses the core issues of land
and identity. It probes the evolution of the seemingly
incurable conflict in Palestine from a historical
perspective that is typically unknown to American
audiences.
Using rarely seen
archival footage and interviews with various experts
and scholars, Tragedy In the Holy Land
offers vital information about the roots of the
current conflict and the ongoing struggle for
survival and dignity.
DVD Bonus Features:

in-depth examinations of topics such as land leases,
The Balfour Declaration, The Sykes-Picot Agreement,
