''Al-Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe 1948'' is a documentary film of Benny Brunner and Alexandra Jansse. It follows the events that surround the 1948 Palestinian exodus. It was filmed in 1996, is 58 minutes long and is in English. Based on the book ''The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947–1949'' by Benny Morris, it is the first documentary film to examine the displacement of 750,000 Palestinians during the birth of the state of Israel.〔 〕〔 〕〔 〕 The film shifts between interviews with Palestinian refugees and the reactions of Irgun and Haganah soldiers who witnessed and participated in the events of 1948.〔 〕 ==Subject and treatment== Brunner has stated he was inspired to tell the story in ''Al-Nakba'' in 1988 after reading ''The Birth of the Palestinian Refugee Problem, 1947–1949'' by Benny Morris. He deemed it a "watershed moment" for challenging his view of Zionism after coming to believe that some Palestinians were expelled and that Arab leaders had not told the Palestinians to leave. He began to wonder how many Palestinians were expelled. He then decided to turn the book into a film as he had with other texts. Said Brunner, "Every film has its own time limit and so I made my choices. I wouldn’t change anything in the film."〔 "We wanted to have lots of information in the film and not to make an emotional film," co-director Alexandra Jansse said later in an interview. "But the movie was brought to a higher level by adding the Palestinian poetry. We wanted to add that emotional level of the Palestinians who are broken up in their hearts and you can see it in their eyes."〔 〕 Benny Morris participated in the film despite Brunner's differing conclusions〔 and methodology.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Al-Nakba: The Palestinian Catastrophe 1948」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
