MIDDLE EAST STUDIES, THE - GAZA (ISRAEL & PALESTINE): JOURNEYS TO HEAVEN AND HELL
In Gaza, politics and religion define every aspect of daily life, and it's a place where suicide bombers have the status of rock stars in the West. This documentary attempts to answer why the Palestinian leadership cannot control the fanatics of Hamas, and to understand what propels ever-greater numbers of Palestinians towards suicide? At a mosque we see eager faced youngsters who listen with rapt attention as a white shrouded fighter speaks of his wish to die. Also we are shown the forces that drive youngsters towards the harsh extremists who reject any peace process with Israel. At a public meeting, organized by the Palestinian administration, officials get into fistfights with one another. Set against the order and mass popularity of Hamas' rallies, it's a graphic example of just how limited Palestinian's powers are.
