When filmmaker Mai Masri returned to her hometown of Nablus after a 14 year absence, she discovered a new generation of Palestinians fighting for their freedom: the children of the Intifada. A 50 minute documentary, made in 1990 of the lives of the Palestianian kids, who shout and throw stones at Israeli soliders, play war games together, and create childish paintings that are filled with the violent images that surround them - of their young friends and relatives who have lost their lives in the fight for their homeland. "Dramatic, bravely filmed stuff...if you closed your eyes you could have been witnessing the Nazi occupation of the Warsaw Ghetto." [Daily Express] In Arabic with English subtitles.

Ahlan w'Sahlan (Our People and Our Lands)is a Palestinian expression of greeting offering everything between earth and sky for the comfort of a guest. It also sums up the dual responsibilities placed on an occupying power by the Geneva Accords; administration of the occupied territory and responsibility for the well-being of the people on it.
People and the Land airdrops viewers into the universe of an occupied people, unreeling images of a new form of apartheid based on ethnicity. Challenging U.S. foreign policy and the conventions of the documentary form itself, People and the Land examines the concrete realities of Israel's conduct in the West Bank and Gaza, the level of U.S. support for that conduct through foreign aid, and the human cost of that aid in Palestine and the U.S.
