After recording testimonies (personal, historical, and political) from Palestinians in the camps of the region, director Nabil Ayouch visits their homes in present day Israel, testing the attitudes of today’s inhabitants toward the land’s Palestinian past and owners. In a bold, at moments unsettling, intervention, Ayouch then stages a series of virtual encounters, exposing the current inhabitants to intimate video testimonies from the refugees whose homes they now occupy…
“My Land” is a searching and original work aimed at the very core of the Palestine/Israel conflict. The son of a Moroccan Muslim and a Jewish Tunisian, he claims a position of unusual sensitivity to the schizophrenic realities which trouble the region.
