ISRAEL — 2016, 110 MIN<br />

DIRECTOR — Shimon Dotan<br />

LANGUAGE — Hebrew, Arabic, English (English subtitles)<br />

The Settlers<br />

(HA’MITNAKHALIM)<br />

DOCUMENTARY<br />

“The real achievement here is in going beyond the buzzwords<br />

of newscasts and talking points to convey a sense of what’s<br />

happening on the ground — and to give it a sense of urgency.”<br />

— Variety<br />

The first film of its kind to offer a comprehensive view of the<br />

Jewish settlements in the West Bank, The Settlers offers a<br />

historical overview, geopolitical study, and intimate look at<br />

West Bank settlements, compiling an immersive directory<br />

of the lives and experiences of the people occupying one of<br />

the world’s most contested territories. With access to the<br />

multitude of settlers in the region, Dotan presents a nuanced<br />

blend of interviews, historical context and archival footage.<br />

This documentary moves beyond what is reported in the news,<br />

permitting voices and opinions from both sides of the contentious<br />

issue. The Settlers premiered at Sundance 2016 and is nominated<br />

for Best Documentary at the 2016 Ophir Awards (Israeli Oscars).<br />
