Following Israel’s decisive victory in 1967’s Six-Day War, hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens have settled the occupied territories of the West Bank. Filmmaker Shimon Dotan benefits from an unprecedented access to the pioneers of the colonization movement and to both religious and secular colonists. The Settlers is an in-depth exploration of these communities that have taken hostage of the socio-political future of Israel and Palestine today.
