*Document* will be presenting:
*Tin Soldiers, Torsten Grude, Norway, 48mins*
A group of young UN soldiers in Lebanon enter service with pro-Israeli views
and a naive outlook on the war. They go through a radical change of heart as
they witness and film the Qana massacre . They secure video evidence
indicating that Israel deliberately bombed a UN camp killing 106 refugees.
Evidence brought to the world's attention by Robert Fisk, who shares his
thoughts on what is now the first Qana massacre, in an interview which
follows the film.
Today *Tin Soldiers* has an additional power and poignancy as the village of
Qana was again bombarded during the current crisis, leaving 56 people,
including at least 34 children dead.
*Promised Land, Nora Meyer, UK, 2004, 26mins *
Nora Meyer, a British Jew accompanies New York's 'Friends of Israel's
Defence Force' on their annual military tour of the West Bank, a bizarre
journey to the very heart of 21 st century Zionism.
