John Pilger returns to the story he first filmed in 1977, tracing what happened to Palestinians displaced from their land in 1948 and again in 1967. He travels through the West Bank, Gaza, and Israel, interviewing residents of refugee camps, Israeli officials, and settlers, and revisiting the arguments over land, occupation, and security that have hardened since his earlier film. Pilger pushes directly against the claim that criticizing Israeli government policy is inherently anti-Semitic, laying out the history of settlement expansion and military control through interviews and on-the-ground footage rather than narration alone. Archival material from his 1977 report is set against contemporary scenes, showing checkpoints, demolished homes, and camps that have grown rather than emptied. The film gives space to Israeli voices defending state policy as well as Palestinian accounts of displacement, building its case through testimony and documented history. It is a journalist's argument, delivered with his usual bluntness, about a conflict he insists has changed less than most people assume.
