Israel’s national unity was severely tested with the 2005 evacuation of settlers from the Gaza Strip and West Bank. This program tells the story of that watershed event through multiple perspectives and opinions. Opening with a historical overview of Israel’s settlement policy, the program features compelling scenes from anti-disengagement demonstrations, the Gush Katif evacuation, Hamas rallies, Knesset sessions, and Palestinian Authority meetings. Interviews with key political players—including Israeli President Shimon Peres, former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and a number of Palestinian leaders—highlight the impact of Israel’s unilateral move on the power structures that have dominated the conflict. Bonus material (DVD only) features extended interview footage. (Portions in other languages with English subtitles, 1 hour 50 minutes + 49 minutes of bonus material)
