Jenin, Jenin

Jenin, Jenin 

2003 < جنين، جنين >  Directed by Mohamed Bakri

A heart-rending depiction of the aftermath of Israel’s destruction of Jenin refugee camp in 2002, where every scene and interview is profound and distressing in equal measure.

Jenin, Jenin is a 2002 film co-produced and directed by Palestinian Actor and Director Mohamed Bakri. It includes testimony from the residents of the occupied West Bank city of Jenin after the Israeli army's 'Defensive Wall' operation and offers insight to the state of mind of the camp's children as a result of prolonged Israeli occupation and oppression. The operation ended with Jenin flattened, many Palestinians dead and Israel accused of committing war crimes in its attack on the refugee camp.
