Excellent, a Must See

What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

it was eye-opening to watch this film and to put voices and faces to the Palestinian suffering i always hear about in the news (but you don't if you live on u.s. grounds).now i know.if you'd like to get a glimpse of what's going on on that sad part of the world..watch it. (you can order it from netflix)this film has been accused of being propaganda... I am tired of watching Hollywood propaganda (funded by whom i wonder?) my entire life. it's about time we get to see the other side of the situation. it's only natural that the people whose deeds are brought to light would consider it propaganda. so pay no mind. watch it, do your research and form your own opinion.

Several false claims are made in the film such as that a non existent wing of a hospital was destroyed. ( http://tinyurl.com/pfdjp ) The UN, Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the international press, al Jazeera and even the Palestinian Authority all verified that there was no massacre in Jenin. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Jenin_2002 ) {I am NOT citing Wikipedia as a reliable source but the article has links to reports by the organizations cited above} Bakri admitted to faking footage and not verifying if his witnesses were telling the truth. ( http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=42404 ) As a masterpiece of using film as propaganda it deserves a 10 but since documentaries are supposed to portray the truth it deserves IMDb's lowest rating The claim that "the director was killed by Israeli soldiers shortly after the film's release" made by the reviewer from New Zeeland on March 6, 2006 is incorrect. In fact he is still alive (unless he died very recently). Mohammed Bakri was scheduled to appear at a Palestinian film festival April 24, 2006. (EDIT it appears that the IMDb administrators or the author removed that claim) http://www.palestinefilm.org/2006/ Len

This award winning documentary is definitely worth the watch, finally someone has the guts to portray what really goes on behind closed doors.. this movie really exposes Israel's war crimes and consistent policy of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinian people. It's a very sad movie that really makes you realize what's important in your life and how truly bad, the world we live in, is. I recommend this movie to everyone who wants to open their minds and understand where Palestinians are really coming from and why they fight for what they believe in, now how many of us can really say that? Literally?

In 2002, April 3rd through 12th, the population OF Jenin, a Palestinian refugee camp and home to some 14 000 people living under strict military curfew, was exposed to a merciless assault by Israeli soldiers, tanks, armored bulldozers, and helicopters. Much of the camp was shot and blown to hell, while an area the size of several football fields in the centre of town was completely leveled, purportedly the gravesite of many hundreds of people. That is the clear aftermath. The exact details of the occupation are still debated, accounts varying from "the Palestinians asked for it" (Israel) to claims of generally bloodthirsty behavior on the part of Israeli soldiers (Palestinians, Red Cross workers, and just about any outsider who's visited the site). "Jenin Jenin" is a documentary lending voice to Jenin's survivors wishing to participate in that debate (which ended up costing it's director his life).Through "Jenin Jenin", you'll take a stroll though the rubble. You'll listen to shattered people give accounts of brutal murder of their kin that are so horrid, you'll have trouble believing them because you cannot wrap your mind around such carnage being perpetrated by mere men. Except that at one point, you'll see footage apparently shot during the occupation -- footage of captives lined up on the ground and run down by an armoured vehicle. You'll see a young girl with a disturbing cold gaze, and come to understand just how deep her hate for Israel already runs. Ten years old at most, she pledges to do all she can to destroy Israeli lives.In the end, you'll either declare it all bulls**t, believe the Israeli claims that whatever happened, the Palestinians asked for it, and I'll call you a flaming moron, or you'll want to do something about it but find you can't, your government won't, and you'll hate the world.
