Screening: _Jenin Jenin_
(Dir. Mohamed Bakri, 2002)
"Where is God," an elderly man desperately wonders when surveying the
debris in the Palestinian refugee camp Jenin.
The film, directed and co-produced by Palestinian actor and director
Mohammed Bakri, includes testimony from Jenin residents after the
Israeli army's Defensive Wall operation, during which the city and
camp were the scenes of fierce fighting. The operation ended with
Jenin flattened and scores of Palestinians dead. Palestinians as well
as numerous human rights groups accused Israel of committing war
crimes in the April 2002 attack on the refugee camp. _Jenin Jenin_
shows the extent to which the prolonged oppression and terror has
affected the state of mind of the Palestinian inhabitants of Jenin.
Banned in Israel, _Jenin Jenin_ is dedicated to Iyad Samudi, the
producer of the film, who returned home to Yamun after the shooting
of the film was completed. On June 23, as Israeli forces besieged
Yamun, Samudi was shot and killed as he was leaving a military-closed
area with three friends.
