Final Project Ideas

I'll be looking at Palestinian representation of the political situation. I hope to do this through a variety of sources.

Movies I want to pull clips from:
“5 Broken Cameras” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2125423/
“Encounter Point” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0783517/
“This Narrow Place” http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1587353/
Top 10 Israeli/Palestinian Conflict Movies: http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/cultist/2011/07/top_10_films_about_the_israeli.php

I want to look into the claims of apartheid in the region. Here is an interesting article that I may start with. http://electronicintifada.net/content/oscar-nominated-films-prove-israel-apartheid-state/12168

 Photographs from local photographers: how do they see it? (reality) 

-I know of a few Palestinian photographers and hope to look at more, such as photojournalists, who will be able to represent the reality of the political situation and life.

News (Palestinian) (reality) 

-Newspapers in West Bank cities (Bethlehem has English publications, I believe also Ramallah and Hebron. I hope to find news sources from cities such as Nablus and Janin)

"Facts" shown in educational materials in public school: what are kids learning when they learn history and government in public school? (reality or representation?)
