- Contents Summary
- 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.
