'finally', well no, this film has been out for some time however in america it's very rare that you hear the palestinian view of the 'troubles'. That support though is starting to crack as more and more information comes out about israel's real state. As american, I'm ashamed how the machinations of DC and politics gives unconditional support to a country founded and operating on completely antithetical grounds. That is, the support for israel is based on grounds which are completely at right angles to basic american principles. America is a secular state. Israel is not. America was founded on democracy and equality. Although those ideals have not always met practice, we don't have a two state system. As mentioned in the film, your family could be generations living within israel but never a full citizen with equal rights. While, a new emigrant only has to show jewish heritage and they become, automatically, citizens. There's no common law legal basis for such practices and no precedent either around the world. Because of the holocaust guilt, many countries, including the US have spun the israel story to david vs goliath terms but the holocaust is no legitimate reason to systematically segregate a group of people as israel has done. And there will be no security until the issue is addressed. Fortunately, there is more criticism of israel in the media now than before but it's not enough. It's still overshadowed by the political image of palestinians as terrorists which many use to justify israel's actions. The first problem with that is, would anything have been any different if the palestinians only practiced non-violent tactics? Second, we've already seen this happen before in south africa. Rightly so, the same tactics and justifications for apartheid are being applied by israel but not with the same world condemnation and that's very puzzling. Even in america, instead of embargos and sanctions the US gives billions in aid every year to a state that subjugates and segregates millions. While DC is quick to criticize the treatment of muslims in china, it has no reluctance to give aid to a country that has systematically ghettoized palestine. Regardless of israel's role in the middle east, it's a rats nest that more americans should be aware of since we're ultimately the only policeman in the area. So 'well done' to the producers getting this film out there.

Plot summary
Ana Nogueira is a white South African and Eron Davidson a Jewish Israeli. Drawing on their first-hand knowledge of the issues, the producers take a close look at the apartheid comparison often used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Their film breaks down the rhetorical analogy into a fact-based comparison, noting where the analogy is useful and appropriate, and where it is not. There are many lessons to draw from the South African experience relevant to conflicts all over the world. This film is as much a historical document of the rise and fall of apartheid, as it is a film about why many Palestinians feel they are living in an apartheid system today, and why an increasing number of people around the world agree with them.

finally, another side to the story
Political agenda disguised as unbiased documentary
Anyone with half a brain and their own mind will see through the lies perpetrated in this obvious pro Palestinian film.
Just read the history of the region to know what really happened and what is really happening there. It's not that simple.
I used to be sympathetic to the Palestinians until they started to blow up innocent civilians indiscriminately. Notice how none of that is pushed in this film. But you can look it up in history.
The truth is that they continuously have allowed terrorists and anti Semitic leaders to bring them to where they are today.
But no matter what I or anyone may think the truth is not in this film. None of it is.
A white man and a Jewish Israeli...
At first I thought 'This may be interesting'. Then I read the storyline "Ana Nogueira is a white South African and Eron Davidson a Jewish Israeli"
Ok, so two withe guys are going to explain the similarities and/or differences between Apartheid and the Israeli/Palestine situation. That's going to be interesting indeed. Words like 'mansplaining' come to mind.
