If you want to understand how and why Palestine became Israel
but is still Palestine...
but is still Palestine...
...watch this film. If you want others to understand, have them watch this film.
To solve any problem, the first step is understanding. And the most powerful single tool for understanding the problems of Palestine, Palestinians, Israel and Israelis is The Promise, by Peter Kosminsky. It is a powerfully entertaining and compelling film, but it provides much more than entertainment.
The film was almost not made. It encountered opposition during the making and only $5 million from a French group rescued it. It was shown on British and French television, but was not shown in North America. Now it is finally available in four parts on YouTube, and for purchase on DVD at Amazon.
We
recommend the film for study and discussion. It shows a lot of
viewpoints but does not avoid unpleasant facts out of deference to any
of them. It is about as honest as a film can get.
We want people to see this film. If you have any suggestions, let us know. If it costs money to make it happen, we will try to find the resources. This is a film that can change everything.
