A thought-provoking and powerful documentary film on the current and
historical root causes of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Unlike any
other film ever produced on the conflict -- 'Occupation 101' presents
a comprehensive analysis of the facts and hidden truths surrounding
the never ending controversy and dispels many of its long-perceived
myths and misconceptions.

The film also details life under Israeli military rule, the role of
the United States in the conflict, and the major obstacles that stand
in the way of a lasting and viable peace. The roots of the conflict
are explained through first-hand on-the-ground experiences from
leading Middle East scholars, peace activists, journalists, religious
leaders and humanitarian workers whose voices have too often been
suppressed in American media outlets.

The film covers a wide range of topics -- which include -- the first
wave of Jewish immigration from Europe in the 1880's, the 1920
tensions, the 1948 war, the 1967 war, the first Intifada of 1987, the
Oslo Peace Process, Settlement expansion, the role of the United
States Government, the second Intifada of 2000, the separation barrier
and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as many heart wrenching
testimonials from victims of this tragedy.
