Why watch this film?

"Palestine: A Land in Conflict" is replaced by "Palestine". Palestina é uma região em guerra há anos, dominando sempre aulas de geografia e telejornais de todo o mundo. E nunca parece haver um ponto final no conflito. De olho nisso, os cineastas Julio Soto Gurpide e Mohamed El Badaoui rodaram 'Palestina', este longa-metragem que se vale de uma situação um tanto quanto peculiar (e um pouco brega, vamos admitir): um soldado israelense é ferido e perde a memória e, depois, passa a ser tratado como um jovem palestino desaparecido há muito tempo. É a deixa para os personagens — e os espectadores, dentro dessa história — questionarem a validade dessa guerra que já matou tanta gente e, em determinado ponto, parece não fazer mais sentido.Palestina has been in a state of war for years, dominating geography classes and news broadcasts around the world. And there never seems to be an end to the conflict. With this in mind, filmmakers Julio Soto Gurpide and Mohamed El Badaoui shot 'Palestine', this feature film that takes advantage of a rather peculiar situation (and a bit cheesy, let's admit it): an Israeli soldier is wounded and loses his memory and then is treated as a long-lost Palestinian youth. It is the cue for the characters - and the viewers, within this story - to question the validity of this war that has killed so many people and, at a certain point, seems to make no sense anymore.
