Between The Lines

Director: Yifat Kedar

Amira Hass is a reporter for the daily "Hararetz" newspaper in  
Israel. She is the only Israeli journalist to have lived in the Gaza  
Strip and the West Bank, where she has doggedly reported on events  
from the Palestinian perspective of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  
To this day she continues to live in Ramallah, the headquarters of  
the Palestinian Authority.

Amira is an obsessed journalist. She is a pursuer of justice, a rebel  
and an only child of a mother who survived the holocaust.

Filming for this documentary first started back in 1999, amid a mood  
of optimism in Israel that a peace settlement was close at hand. But  
Amira goes against the stream: she sees the peace process as actually  
teetering on the brink of failure, threatening an explosion of violence.

The film accompanies her during two years in Israel and the  
Palestinian territories, preparing herself for the chaos she expects  
ahead.

In the darkest moments of the Intifada, she sticks to her mission and  
stays among the Palestinians to continue her reports for her  
newspaper from the 'other side'.

 From time to time she receives abusive letters via the internet from  
Israelis who accuse her of treason. At the same time, she does not  
hold back in criticising and confronting representatives of the  
Palestinian Authority with searching questions.

Daily life becomes ever more difficult and absurd. In her house in  
Ramallah she does not have water because Israel has cut off the water  
supply to territories under the Palestinian Authority. The Israeli  
army hinders her travelling from place to place or even to go back  
home. Besides staying on top of the story, Amira tries to find the  
time - and the way - to visit her aging mother in Jerusalem.
