"The Story of a People Under Occupation"

Challenging U.S. foreign policy and the conventions of documentary, People and The Land examines the concrete realities of Israel’s conduct in the West Bank and Gaza, the level of U.S. support for that conduct through foreign aid, and the human cost of that aid in Palestine and the U.S.
