But rather than being a history lesson, this documentary is a primer for the present. It is simply not possible to make sense of what is happening in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict today without an understanding of 1948.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This documentary was the last chance for many of its Israeli and Palestinian characters to narrate their first-hand accounts of the creation of a state and the expulsion of a nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hear stories from the Israelis and Palestinians who personally lived through events in Haifa, Jaffa, Dayr Yasin, Acre, Jerusalem, Ramla, Lydda and more. These shocking and dramatic events reveal the core of what drives the conflict today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The documentary includes interviews with&nbsp;veterans, refugees, survivors and historians of the war collected in&nbsp;Palestine, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States. &nbsp;Those who lived through the war are the centerpiece of the story, but respected historians, including Charles D. Smith, Avi Shlaim, Nur Masalha, Benny Morris, Ilan Pappe, Rashid Khalidi and Sharif Kanaaneh provide context for the events.
