Project leader: Yumna Patel, Palestine news director, Mondoweiss
When Israeli and Palestinian leaders signed the Oslo Accords in 1993, the agreements offered hope for a "just, lasting and comprehensive peace.” Thirty years later, Palestinians young and old reflect on the false promises of the Accords and resulting impacts on their lives.
The Wanted 18 (2014), 75 min.
Co-directors: Amer Shomali, Palestinian visual artist with family ties to Beit Sahour, and Paul Cowan, Canadian film writer & director
The Wanted 18 tells the true story of Palestinians who bought dairy cows to supply milk for the residents of their town, Beit Sahour. When the Israeli army declares them to be "a threat to national security," the humorous and dramatic search for the cows begins. With interviews and animation, the film illustrates the power of nonviolent resistance to Israeli occupation during the first intifada in the late 1980s.
