Description
In 2017, the Bedouin village of Umm Al-Hiran was destroyed to make way for an Israeli settlement. During the evacuation, two people were killed: a Bedouin resident, Yaqub Musa Abu al-Qi’an and Erez Levi, an Israeli policeman. The Israeli police declared the incident a terror attack, but subsequent investigations point to a very different story. This documentary feels like a detective thriller, laying out the course of events through interviews, archival materials and security camera footage.
