The Law in These Parts

6 Reviews

"Law in the These Parts is one of those films that creates huge amounts of conversation. After every screening it was a joy to see people deeply debating their thoughts around the film as they headed out of the theatres. This Hot Docs award winner gives us an important insight into just how much of a political and social impact a legal system can have." – Charlotte Cook, Hot Docs Film Festival Director of Programming

synopsis

Acclaimed Israeli filmmaker Ra'anan Alexandrowicz pulls off a tour-de-force examination of the system of military administration used by Israel since the Six Day War of 1967 featuring the system's leading creators in THE LAW IN THESE PARTS. In a series of thoughtful and candid interviews, Israeli judges, prosecutors and legal advisers who helped devise the occupation's legal framework paint a complex picture of the Middle East conflict and the balance among political interests, security and human rights that has come with it.
