This movie tells the story of the horrendous massacres of Sabra and Chatila refugee camps in 1982, where the Israeli occupation army used Lebanese Christian Phalangists to exterminate over 2000 Palestinian civilians consisting mostly of women and children in 40 hours... The Phalangists also filed hundreds of people into the camp's stadium and most of the people never came back.
The main forte of this documentary is that it's the work of a man who's neither an Arab nor an Israeli, so it's the closest thing to an impartial perspective... Although in 1983 an independent Israeli commission concluded that Ariel Sharon (previous Israel's PM) was indirectly responsible for the massacres, so there isn't really much argument about the historical facts anyway.
In a nutshell: This's a must-see for those who are interested in the human side and truth about the middle east conflict.
