Live from Palestine

The film presents the Voice of a Palestinian radio station, (based in Ramallah until 13 December, when Israeli tanks destroyed it) recording live moments of various events in the minute they happen. It moves with its field correspondents through their reports to the studios, which broadcast the news and programmes, live, to its listeners inside and outside Palestine. The film deals with the issue of the Palestinian media in the first year of the second Intifada through what they transmit on the air to their listeners and what happens behind the scenes at the station, in the studios, editing rooms, administrative offices and at meetings of decision makers, trying to observe closely how the Palestinian official media deals with Palestinian reality at this time. The film crew accompanies the station correspondents, to friction points with the Israeli occupation soldiers, at the events surrounding the anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba 'catastrophe', at the site of bombings and at different checkpoints. It continues to follow up the lives of those working at the radio station during and after working hours, that might never end.
