'A fascinating film about how history is written.' New York Times'It works on two levels: one is about the massacre; the other is about the psychology employed not only by the perpetrators, but by the powerful forces that back them up.' Vox ReviewTantura is one of hundreds of Palestinian villages depopulated in 1948, during what Israelis call the War of Independence. To Palestinians, it was 'Al Nakba' - the Catastrophe. The Israeli director, Alon Schwarz, interviews former soldiers of the Alexandroni Brigade, and Palestinian residents, to examine allegations of a massacre in Tantura on 23 May 1948.Teddy Katz had submitted a post-graduate thesis to Haifa University on this subject, which was awarded 97%. But he then became a target for outrage and legal battles.The film confirms why 'Al Nakba' remains a taboo for many in Israeli society.Israel/Palestine | 2022 | 94 mins***PLUS: screening of a video by Forensic Architecture on Tantura (17 mins)Voluntary collection for Medical Aid for PalestiniansWatch official trailer for Tantura on this link:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNtrUjUNkJw" title="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNtrUjUNkJw" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNtrUjUNkJw</a>
