Was Palestinian history carefully recorded by the earliest 20th-century filmmakers as a way of preserving their heritage? Or were they, as some Israelis claim, simply disorganised amateurs operating on basic equipment in a primitive society? In this documentary, Israeli researcher and filmmaker Karnit Mandel uncovers previously unseen footage of Palestinian life and history in a box of old VHS tapes. The cassettes are a small sample from a huge archive seized from the PLO during Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon. Mandel tries to retrieve it from the Israeli army but comes up against overwhelming obstacles and bureaucracy. She hears a range of contrasting views, from Palestinians who describe a well-developed film industry in the 1930s to dismissive Israeli historians who say Palestinian cinema never existed at all. In the end, Mandel is forced to abandon her search – but it highlights the continuing struggle for narrative control over Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory.

For several decades, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has grappled with political instability, armed conflict and humanitarian crises. In recent months, the country has experienced a resurgence of violence, killing at least 7,000 people and displacing millions. The escalation of violence comes after M23 rebels, an armed group backed by Rwanda, seized control of Goma, a city in a strategic, mineral-rich province. Rwandan President Paul Kagame has denied any involvement in the war. So what lies ahead for the DRC? Will Rwanda and the DRC ever manage to reach an agreement and end the ongoing conflict?
