will be crushed. He finally finds help and gains strength and courage
but he could never imagine his new destiny...

Ketsuzoku (40 min)
In modern day Tokyo, a young man’s free will is consumed by the
emptiness of the city. Shin has no hope for his life. It all seems
meaningless. He decides to end his life today. As if guided by an
unseen force, he wanders out of the city to a place he recognizes...
his grandmother's thatched roof house where he spent his childhood
summers. Everything is the same... his grandmother’s smile, the vast
blue sky, the cleansing smell of the woods... It is the cleansing
purification that his soul needs to remember the days when the world
was perfect. The newfound peace of his homecoming is starkly
contrasted by Shin’s phantasmagoric visions of an old battlefield... the
brutal attacks of bandits... courageous farmers who fought against
them. In a moment of clarity, Shin realizes that these haunting visions
are not dreams but the memory of his own bloodline.

Occupation 101 (84 min)
'Occupation 101' portrays a comprehensive analysis of the facts and
hidden truths surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; and dispels
many of its long-perceived myths and misconceptions. The film also
details life under Israeli military rule, the United States' role, and
sheds light on the major obstacles which stand in the way of a lasting
and viable peace. Unlike any other film ever produced on the conflict
-– ‘Occupation 101’ explains the situation in a comprehensive manner
and gives audiences a complete context in which to better understand
the Israeli-Palestinian encounter. The film depicts the root causes of
the conflict through Israeli, Jewish, Christian, Muslim, American, and
Palestinian voices that are rarely ever heard through mainstream
media outlets.
