The 75-minute film chronicles the struggle of a Bedouin community in the occupied West Bank village of Khan al-Ahmar, weaving together 40 years of archival footage with contemporary reflections. True to his signature style, Gitai presents the documentary as a “civic gesture” aimed at preserving collective memory and challenging established narratives, rather than offering easy answers to a deeply entrenched conflict. “I find&amp;nbsp;myself in a delicate position, holding contradictory thoughts in a dramatic and tragic moment.” “Symbolic power matters, because reality does not change only through money and machine guns. It also changes&amp;nbsp;through ideas, and we have to speak about ideas.” “Sometimes human beings understand, after a great conflict, that perhaps they have something better to do with their lives. Let’s hope.” https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/amos-gitai-7/ Alain Elkann Interviews https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/43243088/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/ea6c35/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/207367693
