Nominated for Best Documentary Feature The last of the nominees I managed to watch (32 in total this year!) before the ceremony and it was the winner of its category. Content warning: dead people, gun violence
A young Palestinian man and his Israeli friend document the ongoing destruction of Palestinian homes in the West Bank of Gaza by the Israeli army.
I'm glad this won. Even if it feels like too little, too late. It will be an important record in the future, the way the documentaries about Syria and Ukraine will be. I'm not going to go on a long-ass rant about it.
It has no distribution in the United States so dust off that VPN. Maybe an Oscar win will overcome some cowardice, maybe not. It's worth searching out.
