Conflict in the Middle East 1946 - 1948

Programme Outline

This programme shows us how powerful a tool editing can be. Compare the way the British Movietone News tells the story of the famous refugee ship Exodus with the film entitled The Illegals, made to raise money for the Zionist cause. The images of overcrowded refugee ships desperately trying to put ashore, and barbed wire camps, made the British look like Nazis.
