Occupation 101 (2006)
A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict, this award-winning documentary film presents a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions.
The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been suppressed in American media outlets.
The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880's, the 1920 tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.
Occupation 101 features a leading list of some of the most credible Middle East scholars, historians, peace activists, journalists, and humanitarian workers.

There is no such an ethnic group or people as a Palestinian people, - it's just another myth.
Really great documentary. You must see this if you want to understand the conflict in the Holy Land.
I am from Poland and we, the Poles, had been fighting for our freedom many times in the past. We know what an occupation is so we can understand the Palestinians.
Move along brainwashed people. Go watch your AIPAC propaganda.
This film is completely one-sided.
It presents partial facts, misquotes, and so much misinformation, that it is almost propaganda.
What a waste of time and bandwidth.
This docu was not funded by monies from other countries. It's made by two brothers who fund it themselves, to the point they have to pause the production & do side jobs when funds ran low. Read the challenges they faced in making this docu at :

It's not one-sided. Finally, we're hearing the other side of the untold story.
Obvious Arab propaganda that is backed by the monies of such ilk as Iran, Syria, Soudi Arabia and the like. One sided as expected. By design of course.
an invader is an invader is an invader!
