Hanna K. (1983)
Blackballed Hollywood film (considers the Palestinian point of view)
Contrary to the comment by "pusic, Israel" (who may be somewhat biased in not wanting people to know anything about what Palestinians endure), I saw this movie a couple of times many years ago, on 'cable'. Naturally, it has never been shown on regular TV...
It concerns a Palestinian who was accused of something, and who is defended by a Jewish American female lawyer (Jill Clayburgh). It is to be noted that the cast includes both Jewish Israeli and Arab actors, in addition to Jill and French actors.
I found the movie interesting and refreshing in its condition of being an example of something of which we should see a lot more, if Hollywood studios were run by different people. As it is, I can't think of any other movie which relates to the West Bank and/or Gaza and takes place in the times since 1967.
