To elaborate on ‘one palestine’s‘ comment, here is a documentary (Hat tip: Robin) that views 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 is an old documentary, but still valid today (since nothing changed since the occupation begin early last centaury) and 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 history.

This 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 Western audiences.

Using rarely seen archival footage and interviews with various experts and scholars (Edward W. Said, Noam Chomsky and others), TRAGEDY IN THE HOLY LAND offers vital information about the roots of the current conflict and the ongoing struggle for survival and dignity.
