Operation Bethlehem

Directed and wrote by Leila Sansour, 'Operation Bethlehem' follows Palestinian director Leila Sansour's extraordinary journey to the legendary city of Bethlehem, the place where she grew up. Armed with a camera and a family car that keeps breaking down, she sets out to make an intimate portrait of a historical town in peril. Five years on, with 700 hours of footage, the result is nothing like she had expected. The film is also known as 'Open Bethlehem', a documentary that is looking for distribution partnerships.
