For decades, the prevailing wisdom has been that the solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict would come in the form of a two-state solution. Typically, this is formulated as an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and the establishment of a Palestinian state there and in the Gaza Strip. Unfortunately, with half a million Israeli settlers living throughout the West Bank and millions of Palestinian refugees demanding to return to their homes in Israel, the two-state solution no longer seems practical, let alone just. "A People Without a Land" explores the notion that the only real solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a one-state solution. Spending time with people from across the political spectrum, including settlers, politicians, activists and unique individuals who have successfully crossed the ethnic divide, we explore the challenges that lie ahead as well as the possibilities that such a solution might entail.

Vashirdfel Simply A Masterpiece
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
Jim A. Good photography, editing and presentation but the content can only be described as mediocre. With a caveat: As to the current circumstances and situation, it does a fairly good job, but much of the history is mere repetition of propaganda generated and perpetuated over the years. As an example, it states that the Israelis were attacked by the Arabs in 1948, after the declaration of statehood. However, it's exactly the opposite, it was the Zionist forces that began the takeover and ethnic cleansing of Palestine immediately following the UN Partition Resolution (Nov. 29, 1947), even going far beyond the lines designated in UN 181 (which ultimately resulted in armistice lines subsequently known either as the "1949 lines" or the "1967 lines"). The "war" as such didn't begin on May 15, 1948 (declaration of statehood) as evidenced by the fact that seizing territory by force of arms -- including massacres, pillaging, expulsions, rape and atrocities on civilian populations -- took place well before that date. Deir Yassin, the most widely known example, took place on April 9, 1948. Also, with few exceptions, the Arabs did not fight WITHIN the lines delineated in UN 181, they were actually under orders NOT to (the fighting within the lines was mostly with Palestinian irregulars, whose towns, villages and fields were threatened). The assertion that the Israelis were attacked on May 15, 1948 is a blatant falsehood generated as propaganda and reiterated ad nauseam over the years. When the Arab League forces attacked, they attacked within PALESTINIAN territory, in defense of that territory and its people. They did NOT attack what became known as "Israel" on May 15, 1948. In short, the Zionists were not the persecuted victims they portrayed themselves to be, quite the opposite. The producers would have done well to have this material fact checked, rather than recycling once more the old, tired and demonstrably false propaganda we've been exposed to over the years.
