Direct Action Radical Films presents
PEACE, PROPAGANDA AND THE HOLY LAND: US media and Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Peace, Propaganda and the Holy Land explores how America’s foreign policy interests work in combination with Israeli public relations strategies to influence US news reporting about the Middle East conflict. Directors Sut Jhally and Bathsheba Ratzkoff combining American and British TV news clips with interviews with a range analysts, journalists and political activists such as Noam Chomsky, Hanan Ashrawi and Robert Fisk, to explore how US media coverage about the Israel-Palestine conflict is distorted and Israel’s brutal occupation of the Palestinian people remains hidden in the news media. Raising timely questions about the role of journalism and the relationship between the media and politics, Peace, Propaganda and the Holy Land is a must see film for anyone interested in understanding the Israeli-Palestine conflict.
