Synopsis
The largest city in the occupied West Bank and the site of one of the first Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Hebron is populated by 160,000 Palestinians and 600 Israeli settlers—who require a garrison of 2,000 Israeli soldiers for protection. For these unwilling neighbours, conflict has become a way of life, and directors Giulia Amati and Stephen Natanson capture this charged situation through the multiple, interweaving narratives of residents and observers. Featuring interviews with ordinary Israelis and Palestinians living in the city, activists on both sides, prominent Ha’aretz journalists and members of the Israeli parliament, This Is My Land . . . Hebron is a vivid portrait of a chasm between cultures, and its studiedly even-handed approach invites the viewer to take on the responsibility of witnessing, and judging, themselves.
