Comments on sneak preview of LAND

  • Absolutely amazing, thought provoking, deeply insightful and wonderful film. You opened my world, mind and eyes – “We saw and we didn’t see.”
  • It will take some time to fully digest the experience of this extraordinary creation, and we already want to see it again.
  • We each loved that it did not indulge in hyperbole or polemics, did not depict graphic scenes of tragedy and violence, but instead proposed the uncomfortable truth that we are all human, and that we are all together in this mess, and the the truth must be told if we are to move past it. In the future, hopefully, there will be a truth and reconciliation commission for Palestine/Israel, as there was in South Africa. This film would be an important artifact for that commission.
  • Am still in the intellectual and emotional hangover stage from seeing your new film. I believe it is a game changer in this current world.
  • That is such a powerful film, not only because of the personal narrative but also its strong themes and creativity. The animation is a terrific way to bring the words to life so the audience can hear them.
  • Eye-opening, inspiring, and important.
  • You did a masterful job including whimsy and humor making the film thought provoking and enlightening without it being dispiriting. The ending was perfect. I left with so many questions, so many thoughts, and I learned a few things.
  • What a nuanced and sensitive work that only you could make.   A very important and timely film.
  • I learned so much and feel like I need to see it again and again to really absorb all the information you put out there.
  • I can’t tell you how much I appreciated every bit of it from how it was made to your most honourable and responsible handling of this emotional and complicated history. It should be required viewing in every high school in the country and beyond. Your creative deep dive into the past serves your message so well. I don’t think I’ve seen as thorough a presentation of information to support the cause of Palestinian rights as yours.
  • It was truly eye-opening. I was so moved by your vulnerability and by the love and care woven into the editing and storytelling.
  • I feel like I got to know you even better through this film, and it made me admire you even more. Not to mention how much I learned along the way.
