Deir Yassin - The Agony
On April 9, 1948, Deir Yassin, a small Palestinian-Arab village of roughly 600 people just outside Jerusalem, was attacked by 120 fighters from the Irgun and Lehi Zionist paramilitary groups. Approximately 100 unarmed civilians were massacred. This short documentary reveals the story of the massacre from the point of view of the survivors, one of them being Zeinab Mohammad Ismail Attieh, who was born in Deir Yassin, Palestine, in 1924. Throughout her walk in the village she gives a detailed account of the families that used to live in Deir Yassin but perished by the hands of the Israeli militants.

Minarets in the Face of Destruction: An Eyewitness
A documentary in search of mosques and other Palestinian holy sites left behind by the local population when Israel was created. Before 1948, more than 18,000 people used to live in Ein Al Zaytoun. In 2002, just two families are to be found, and there is nobody to look after the mosques. What the filmmakers find at many of the sites of ancient mosques is destruction and desecration. Once populated mosques, they are now being reduced to ruins and tourist attractions. This documentary provides insight to the Palestinians' desperate sense of loss.
