“The Suicid Bombers was, at the time, labelled as a “scoop”. It was the first documentary that made me conscious of the power of images and the meaning of their content, the diverse readings that we can draw out of them, affected by everything from the image ration to the composition. It wasn’t about militantism. You could defend a cause, but you needed to have an underlying understanding og the language of images and what it could lead to… and to know how an image could be turned against you.”

“One of my first films, five years ago, about Palestinian commandos, affected me greatly. It was a scoop, it was a marvelous success
for me, but it was a failure on the level of informing the public and raising awareness. People are fed up with violence. I had shown the violence, and this war is nothing but violence – but I refuse to show it on the primary level, you see it instead through an imagery of destruction. I refused sensational imagery. I took the side of the opposition.”
