  Hamas - Behind The Mask

  A film by Emmy-awarding winning director Shelley Saywell,
Hamas: Behind The Mask is a journey inside one of the world's most
secretive and controversial political organisations. Shot during 2004
and 2005, it documents a transformative time as Hamas entered the
political arena, even as its main leaders were assassinated one by
one. Interviews with leaders in hiding, militants and activists are
juxtaposed with Israeli experts and victims, as the film examines how
Hamas turned the once secular struggle for Palestine into a
religiously motivated Jihad. What emerges is a portrait of a starkly
resilient group; when thousands of their members were imprisoned they
turned the prison into a university for ideological discourse. When
faced with Israeli fences and lock-downs against their attacks, they
dug underground. When their leaders were killed, their recruitment
grew. Their popularity in the Palestinian street kept growing, in
part because of their vast social network and in part because their
armed resistance appealed most when public desperation was highest.
And even though they were put on the international terrorist list by
the US, they were able to increase their funding. On the world front,
Hamas has become a pivotal player in any real and meaningful peace
prospects. As Hamas now enters the political arena they face a
strategic question. Will they play inside the box?
Hamas: Behind The Mask is a look at the people behind the stereo-typed
terrorist mask, who have become a major force in shaping the future
of a Palestinian state and an end to the enduring Middle Eastern
conflict.
