Palestine: Story of A Land 
Dir. Simone Bitton, 1996
France, 120 min.
In French, Arabic, Hebrew and English w/ English subtitles.

A Mizrahi Jew born in Morocco, Simone Bitton's career as a documentarian has invariably fixated on the the relationship between Muslims and Jews in the Holy Land. Her work has explored the policies that enable Palestine's occlusion, and the poets and activists who live and die for its freedom. Palestine: Story of a Land is composed entirely of archival footage and newsreels, a narrated history of the nation from the 19th century to present day. 

"If there are hostages in a school, does that mean you have the right to kill the whole school? That's exactly the point: the lives of the Palestinian civilians are worth nothing, and the lives of the people who protect the Palestinian civilians are worth nothing. It's very sad."
-Simone Bitton
