Everyman

Life Under Occupation (1989x16)

Yayınlanma tarihi: Haz 04, 1989

Twenty-two years ago this week, Israel defeated her Arab neighbours in the Six-Day-War and took control of the Gaza strip: 140 square miles of land, with a Palestinian population which is now 650,000. This was the beginning of Israeli occupation. Eighteen months ago this week, violence broke out on the streets of Gaza: the Intifada, or Palestinian uprising, was born. Everyman tells the story of the people who live and work under occupation: Palestinians and Israelis - the occupied and the occupiers. At the heart of this film is a committed Christian, Dr Swee Chai Ang, who, after six years of work in Lebanon, has come to work in Gaza's Ahli Arab hospital.
