The French filmmaker Pierre Rehov may be relatively unknown to Americans, but he has a long and deep history of making short and long films about the Middle East, particularly about Israel and the historical and current conflicts.

Progressives are almost entirely unaware of the facts and history of the conflicts, the ties and direct descendance in some cases of Islamic policy, if not beliefs, from Nazi origins.

Rehov's bio and website are here. A partial excert is posted below:

Pierre Rehov was born in Algeria where his ancestors had lived for almost 500 years. He and his family left for France in 1961 with 250,000 other Jewish refugees who were expelled from the newly Muslim-ruled territory. Rehov was 6 years old when he found out that he was Jewish-after seeing graffiti on the wall of his building where he and his family lived. The graffiti read, "The French in the boat; the Arabs in a castle; and the Jews to be exterminated."

I'll watch the film when I'm back on wifi, but I already know from a number of other sources how dishonest and misinformed nearly all Western coverage of the Middle East is. Thank you for trying to foster an honest view.

Yes, some of that footage is also in the larger film, which includes several of Rohev's shorter footages. It's good to see it stitched together to form a longer, coherent narrative that is both factual and informative. For far too long, only one side has informed the institutions, agencies, and campuses of the leaders of today and tomorrow.
