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 a...nd
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 U.S. government, the second Intifada
(2000), the Apartheid Wall and the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, as well as
many heart wrenching testimonials from victims of this tragedy.

Occupation 101 features a leading list of some of the most credible Middle
East scholars, historians, peace activists, journalists, and humanitarian
workers, including Albert Aghazarian, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Noam Chomsky,
Cindy & Craig Corrie, Richard Falk, Paul Findley, Neta Golan, Jeff Halper,
Amira Hass, Rashid Khalidi, Ilan Pappe, Gila Svirsky, Alison Weir, and
others.
