 Produced with unprecedented access to Hamas and its operations, this program takes viewers inside Gaza’s Islamic fundamentalist government in the months following its civil war against Fatah. The film observes Hamas leaders as they struggle to shape policy and follows a former militant who now heads up an Executive Force police unit—carrying out orders he doesn’t agree with. Archival footage and interviews from earlier years are also included, creating a historical context in which the emergence of Hamas, as well as the problems of governance it now faces, can be examined and discussed. Fatah’s ongoing control over Hamas finances is one of the many topics analyzed. (49 minutes)
