A feature documentary about the International Solidarity Movement
This dark comedic documentary narrated by Hardy is a story of an unlikely person put in extraordinary circumstances. Hardy teamed up with producer/director Leila Sansour and other members of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in an effort to try his hand at ending occupation of the West Bank. Hardy could only describe the next four days of filming as 'four days in hell'.
The footage captured covers everything from the standoff at Yasser Arafat's compound to the siege at the Church of the Nativity. It gives an inside look into the operations and birth of the ISM and the stories that were never reported in last year's news bulletins.
Leila Sansour, the director of the film will be in Glasgow and Edinburgh for a Q&A after the films.
