The 75-minute \ufb01lm 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 re\ufb02ections. True to his signature style, Gitai presents the documentary as a \u201ccivic gesture\u201d aimed at preserving collective memory and challenging established narratives, rather than o\ufb00ering easy answers to a deeply entrenched con\ufb02ict. \u201cI find&amp;nbsp;myself in a delicate position, holding contradictory thoughts in a dramatic and tragic moment.\u201d \u201cSymbolic 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.\u201d \u201cSometimes human beings understand, after a great conflict, that perhaps they have something better to do with their lives. Let\u2019s hope.\u201d  https:\/\/www.alainelkanninterviews.com\/amos-gitai-7\/ ","author_name":"Alain Elkann Interviews","author_url":"https:\/\/www.alainelkanninterviews.com\/","html":"<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>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/207367693"}
