[Marxism] Making of; 9 Star Hotel

[Louis Proyect]

Today someone named Doug complained on my blog about the 2008 movie 
consumer guide. Apparently I was shirking my responsibilities to the 
Palestinians:

"Yes, let’s discuss films. Meanwhile, Mr Marxist, no-one would know from 
this web-site that the Israelis have been committing war crimes in Gaza."

At the risk of angering my sectarian critic even further, I am going to 
review two more films today. One is titled “Making Of” and was made in 
Tunisia in 2006. The director is Nouri Bouzid, who has explored issues 
of Islam and politics over a 30 year career.

“Making Of” tells the story of Bahta, a 25 year old break dancer who 
falls in with jihadists who plan to turn him into a suicide bomber. The 
other is a documentary titled “9 Star Hotel” that features a group of 
Palestinian undocumented construction workers who live in packing crates 
in the hills overlooking the fancy hotel they are working on.
