A timely insight into the process whereby ordinary people can become complicit in war crimes.
In Tamar Yarom’s spellbinding film, six young Israeli women talk with extraordinary candour about the things they did and saw during their compulsory two years of military service. One posed for a photo next to a Palestinian corpse. Another stripped a man to his underwear and beat him. Their courage in sharing how these experiences made them feel, about themselves and their society, and about their socalled enemies, is devastating.
Screening with:
Hamdi and Maria
Timor Britva / Israel / 2007 / 19 mins
Hamdi, a young Gazan construction worker lost nearly his entire family to a stray Israeli missile. After the disaster, Hamdi arrived in Israel so that his daughter Maria, a vivacious, charming young girl, who was mortally injured in the attack, could receive the medical care she couldn't receive in Gaza. 'Hamdi and Maria'takes you beyond the headlines of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
