Here is a video I filmed of Ramzy Baroud, the editor of The Palestine Chronicle. Ramzy passionately speaks about the humanitarian crisis affecting 1.4 million Palestinians caused by Israel’s blockade of the Gaza strip keeping food, medical supplies, fuel and other necessities from entering. I filmed this in Boulder, Colorado on April 28, 2008. As of the writing of this post Israel was still blockading Gaza with increasing strickness turning away a convoy carrying medicine and causing the UN to close aid centers.

Few films about the Middle East view 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: The Second Uprising 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 last century, covering the origins of the dispute and offering a rare look at the confrontation from a Palestinian point of view, including remarks and insight from Palestinians, Jews and other noted scholars.

This provocative 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 American audiences.

Using rarely seen archival footage and interviews with various experts and scholars, Tragedy In the Holy Land offers vital information about the roots of the current conflict and the ongoing struggle for survival and dignity.
