Description:
Tragedy in the Holy Land: The Second Uprising focuses on the conflict in the Middle East exclusively from the point of view of the Palestinian people. Using standard documentary techniques, such as news footage, interviews with scholars, and commentary by visitors to the region, the long history of the conflict is chronicled in some detail. However, the film's content is so heavily slanted that it comes off as a strident denunciation of Israel and Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. The anecdotal evidence offered is often dramatic, but without a balanced airing of some very controversial material, a viewer really has no sound basis upon which to decide what is true and what is propaganda. It can be commendable to present material that may not be well publicized, and there's nothing wrong with a documentary advocating a point of view. However, this video raises more questions than it answers. --Robert J. McNamara
