People and The Land: The Story of a People Under Occupation
Well, by now I think I’ve seen most documentaries on the I-P conflict, but until an hour ago had hitherto missed this 1997 award-winning film. I happened upon it from this site. Highly recommended. Also see Tom Hayes own account of his experience making the film here and here (.pdf)
