Promised Lands
Susan Sontag scrutinizes the ongoing Arab-Zionist conflict and the growing divisions within Jewish thought over the question of Palestinian sovereignty. Shot in ̶I̶s̶r̶a̶e̶l̶ Occupied Palestinian Territory during the final days of the Yom Kippur War. Promised Lands is less straight documentary than visual collage. There are images of combat zones and soldiers, but also everyday street life, desert landscapes, funerals, supermarkets, the Wailing Wall. The soundtrack is snatches of radio, bursts of church bells and gunfire, and an extended voiceover from two politically opposed thinkers from ̶I̶s̶r̶a̶e̶l̶ Occupied Palestinian Territory.
