DVD cover of The sons of Eilaboun - Short version

He choked and his eyes were full of tears, and with a trembling voice he said Â“I remember it as if it has just happenedÂ”, this is the way he ended the story, the story of a nine years old boy from a small village called Eilaboun (Eilabun), in Palestine 1948, the story of my father, when he was a refugee.

It all started on October 30, 1948, when the Israeli army interred his village and massacred 14 young men, one of them was his brother, and some of the others were his cousins, and the villagers were forced to leave their country to Lebanon. This was only the beginning of what he went through, a beginning of a long nightmare. In this nightmare my father witnessed the massacre of about 50 young men, who were convinced to surrender their weapons, and the minute they did, they were murdered in cold blood in front of the people of two villages (their own village, and Eilaboun. A boy of his age was shot while speaking to him about games, the blood of a woman sitting next to him splashed on his face, when the solders shot her hand, the fear he hadÂ…

My father told us those stories many times before, but this time it was different. This time he was very emotional; he made us live his story, he made us feel what he went through, or at least part of it, for the first time I felt that it happened to my father and indirectly it happened to me!

The Sons Of Eilaboun is a documentary film about the massacre, expulsion and return of a small Palestinian village in the Galilee. In the film the Israeli historian Ilan Pappe introduce the history behind the Nakba events. And the Eilaboun (Eilabun) people tell their story.

A very touching, powerful and important documentary!

The Sons of Eilaboun is about the massacre in the northern Galilee village of Eilaboun, a massacre from many that the Israelis committed in the 1948 war. The documentary gives a very important historical introduction by the Israeli historian Illan Pappe, and the people of Eilaboun tell their story. A very touching film, and extremely powerful. The power of The Sons of Eilaboun lies not only in its moving content. It is also a reminder of the 60- year day-by-day resistance to occupation and struggle to return since the events of 1948. I was lucky to see the film in its first screening in Nazareth, The people left the A very touching, powerful and important documentary. A must see!!
