Description
Directed by Ari Folman. Running time 87 mins
This dazzling animated documentary tells the story of Israel's 1982 invasion of Lebanon in which the director took part. Folman was in Beirut when the Lebanese Christian militia known as Phalangists murdered 800 Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps - perhaps with the approval of the Israeli army. It was a massacre that caused Ariel Sharon, Israel's defence minister, to resign from his post when an inquiry found him indirectly responsible for the deaths. Whilst the structure of the film takes the form of a traditional documentary, the use of animation makes it both fresh and compelling.
