SUMMARY

1948: Creation and Catastrophe is the story of the establishment of Israel as seen through the eyes of the people who lived it. This film features first-hand accounts of what took place in Haifa, Jaffa, Dayr Yasin, Acre, Jerusalem, Ramleh, and Lydda from the Israelis and Palestinians who personally fought in and fled from this land. These shocking and dramatic events expose the core of what continues to drive the conflict today, nearly 70 years later.
