THIS IS MY LAND... HEBRON
Italy | 72 min | color | Pal | 16:9 | 2010
Hebron is a city dominated by hate. Out of all the occupied Palestinian territories, it’s the only one to have an Israeli settlement in the inner city: 600 settlers are protected by 2,000 Israeli soldiers in a city of 160,000 Palestinians. The existing conflict in Hebron has morphed into a war between neighbours, where the objective is to conquer one more piece of the city each day, to keep the enemy at bay or simply just to endure. Spitting, kicking, aggression and insults are simply part of daily life. The women, children and army, all participate in this war between neighbours.
