Jenin Jenin 2002 [Documentary]

Uploaded with ImageShack.us


The controversial documentary film directed by Mohammed Bakri, a prominent Arab actor and Israeli citizen, in order to portray what Bakri calls "the Palestinian truth" about the "Battle of Jenin" - a clash between the Israeli army and Palestinians in April 2002 which drew Palestinian accounts of a "Jenin Massacre".

Five Israeli reserve soldiers who served in Jenin filed suit in 2005 against Bakri for defamation arguing that the movie had sullied their good names. The plaintiffs were not mentioned in the film. The judge dismissed the case, ruling that while the film did in fact slander Israeli soldiers, the five Israeli soldiers were not personally slandered and thus had no standing to sue. The judge said in her verdict that Bakri had not shown "good faith", had brought no witnesses, and had not proved his claim that his charges were backed up by reports from human rights groups.
