Through the voices of scholars, media critics, peace activists, religious figures, and Middle East experts, Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land carefully analyzes and explains how - through the use of language, framing and context - Israel's illegal occupation of the West Bank and Gaza is buried by the US' corporate news media, and Israeli colonization of the occupied territories is presented as a defensive move, rather than illegal offensive actions.
The documentary also explores the ways that U.S. journalists, for reasons ranging from intimidation to a lack of thorough investigation, have become complicit in carrying out Israel's PR campaign.
At its core, the documentary raises questions about the ethics and role of journalism, and the relationship between U.S. corporate media and politics.
Interviewees include Seth Ackerman, Mjr. Stav Adivi, Rabbi Arik Ascherman, Hanan Ashrawi, Noam Chomsky, Robert Fisk, Neve Gordon, Toufic Haddad, Sam Husseini, Hussein Ibish, Robert Jensen, Rabbi Michael Lerner, Karen Pfeifer, Alisa Solomon, and Gila Svirsky.
"Peace, Propaganda & the Promised Land should be required viewing for every citizen in the United States." - Robert McChesney, University of Illinois.
