Al-Nakba

An incredible story about the history of Palestine, I found the series difficult to watch but an absolutely necessary documentary for people who are interested in understanding the origins of the Israeli-Palestine conflict.

The documentary begins in 1948 and if focused on a series of events which resulted in the exodus of over 700,000 Palestinians due to the conflict with Israel. In contrast, the 1948 war which was a victory for Israel is considered to be a key moment in the birth of their state.

Al-Nakba tells the story from the side of Palestinians and is candid in its depiction of the destruction of Palestinian society, loss of life, and homeland.
