When the State of Israel was established in 1948, war broke out and hundreds of Palestinian villages were depopulated in its aftermath. Israelis know this as the War of Independence while Palestinians call it Al Nakba (the Catastrophe). This is a story about one such village: Tantura. In the late 1990s, graduate student Teddy Katz conducted research into a large-scale massacre that had allegedly occurred in the village of Tantura in 1948. His work later came under attack and his reputation was ruined, but over a hundred hours of audio testimonies remain.
Director Alon Schwarz will be present in the first screening.
