Reviews & Testimonials

"facinating..."

-The Chicago Reader

"A truly superb film…exceptional in its nuanced portrayal of the forces that come to bear on media production in the Palestinian Territories."

- Dr. Michael Curtin, author Playing to the World's Biggest Audience


"Live From Bethlehem goes behind the cameras and beyond the standard frameworks of seeing the Palestinians as either antagonists or victims in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict...This thought provoking, action packed, and sensitive documentary is a must-see for anyone interested in how journalists work, and for anyone who wants an up close look at working life under occupation."

- Dr. Amahl Bishara, Professor of Anthropology, Tufts University


"Live from Bethlehem...gives viewers, especially those of us without first-hand experience of the region, a sense of the conflicting political and social forces journalists must deal with as they strive to provide Palestinians with a source of reliable news. This film is an important contribution to both popular and scholarly understandings of the Middle East."

-Dr. Kyle Conway, Professor of English, University of North Dakota
