Movie Reviews of Until When...
Movie Review: Why is it nearly impossible to find any English language documentary that depicts the Palestinians as human beings?
Summary: 5 Stars
This outstanding documentary will, I believe, anger virtually anyone who watches it. Most Americans cannot understand why the rest of the world's people despise the government of Israel and their apartheid policies. This documentary will give the viewer some insights into the daily life of Palestinians and what the occupation means. I think it is safe to say that the occupation dominates virtually every aspect of daily life for any Palestinian living in the West Bank and Gaza. We follow the daily travails of several Palestinian families in this documentary as they explain how the Israelis control even the most basic aspects of their lives (like water and electricity), how families and cities have been divided by the occupation, and how generations have coped with living in refugee camps with no real hope of ever leaving them. Everywhere we see fences, and the contrast between the living conditions of the Palestinians and Israelis is stark. This is both a tragic and inspiring commentary on the human condition. It is amazing how resilient the Palestinians are. As state in the excellent review by diplacedhuman, this documentary presents a multigenerational view of the occupation. Several elderly Palestinians are interviewed who can remember a time before the occupation. Several middle aged men and women are interviewed who hate the occupation but who do from time to time work for/with the Israelis to earn money for their families. The most interesting part of the documentary though is the interviews with the children and teens, the viewer can see for themselves how much the occupation has affected their worldviews. I believe that if most Americans saw what was really going on in the occupied territories, our government's policies would change overnight. One really has to wonder why Americans don't see this image of the Palestinians as real people but only as rabid fanatics? Future generations will look back at the US government's largely unquestioned support for the racist policies in Israel with the same view that we currently hold on the US government's support of slavery for the first 80-odd years of our existence. Well done - highly recommended.
