The Alternative Information Center and Jaddal Centre showed
on Tuesday, May 3, in the Beit Sahour Medical Centre In The
Spider's Web . The film showing was followed by a discussion
with the local director of the film Hanna Musleh from Bethlehem
University .
The film was produced by Al-Haq in order to provide a visual
overview of collective punishment as it affects the daily lives
of Palestinians in the Occupied Palestinians Territories . The
documentary tells many stories, but it draws in on those of two
women: one from Hebron and the from Nablus . In the Spider's
Web documents the relationship between Israeli violations of
international law and the social consequences it has for women,
many of whom get blamed for their plight. The women share their
horrific mainstream media. They share the intimate impact of
the measures of intimidation, showing that they have no limits,
curfews, checkpoints, house demolitions, and other collective
penalties which have had a deadly affect on members of their
family including their young children. The 45 min film is in
Arabic and subtitled in English.
