Jenin, Jenin is a 2002 controversial Israeli documentary produced by Mohammed Bakri, an Arab-Israeli, in order to portray what Bakri calls "the Palestinian truth" about the Jenin Massacre.[citation needed] It was awarded Best Film at the Carthage International Film Festival and International Prize for Mediterranean Documentary Filmmaking & Reporting. The film has no narrative and consists only of interviews with the inhabitants. However, the producer includes an interview with himself.
After a great outrage, the film was banned by the Israeli Film Ratings Board, but the Israeli Supreme Court later reversed the ban stating that:
"It is not, being that the film includes lies, to justify it's disqualification fot screening. The (Israeli Film Ratings) board is not authorized to decide what is true or false, it is not equipped with the necessary tools for that and does not have a monopoly on the truth." -- Supreme High Court Judge Dalya Dorner.[1]
Before the supreme high court decision was made, Bakri contested the screening of a counter-response documentary "The Road to Jenin", made by Pierre Rehov[2][3] , and the court rejected his request under the statement that regardless of the claim about the connection between the films, there is no legal basis to deny the screening of the film.[4]
Five IDF reservists also filed a libel lawsuit against Muhammad Bakri and the the Tel Aviv and Jerusalem cinematheques who showed the movie.[5]
Premise
The movie is straight up interviews with Jenin residents.
