Documentary Description
I’ve
been here for about a month and half now and this is definitely the
most difficult situation that I have ever seen. In the time that I have
been here, children have been shot and killed. On the 30th of January,
the Israeli military bulldozed the two largest water wells, destroying
over half of Rafah’s water supply. Ever few days, if not everyday,
houses are demolished here.. so I feel like what I am witnessing here
is a very systematic destruction of peoples’ ability to survive and
that is incredibly horrifying.
Yahya Barakat, who teaches at Al-Quds University,
told The Washington Report that he began work on the documentary the
instant he learned that Corrie had been crushed to death by an
Israeli-driven Caterpillar bulldozer.
This documentary offers rare footage of Rachel
talking to a camera and describing Israeli human rights violations
against a Palestinian civilian population. The film opens with grim
images of dinosaur-like Caterpillar bulldozers turning urban Rafah into
a garbage pile of destroyed buildings. It continues with interviews of
Rachel’s fellow International Solidarity Movement volunteers, and
concludes with comments from her parents
