Email this pageForgetting Palestine: Howard Dean's Blunt Message
By JOSHUA FRANK

New documentary a family tale older than Israel itself
Jim Quilty, The Daily Star, 2 December 2005
from electronic intifada
Nizar Hassan's latest documentary is a hybrid. Part oral history project, part detective story, Karem Abou Khalil (Abou Khalil Grove) tells one Palestinian family's history from the Ottoman to the Israeli periods. It's also an amused study of misplaced premises and faulty representation. It's not a story of burning tires and bulldozed houses - a la Ijtiah, Hassan's 2002 documentary on the Jenin invasion. It's a family tale older than Israel, though its telling is fenced in by the tense courtesy of life under Israeli domination.
