What happens

The Road to Jenin is a 2003 documentary directed by Pierre Rehov, a French-Israeli film director, whose documentaries mostly deal with the Middle East conflict. The Road to Jenin was produced to counter the Palestinian narrative in relation to the Battle of Jenin, between the Israeli army and Palestinian militants in April 2002, which drew Palestinian accounts of a "Jenin Massacre" (Arabic: مجزرة جنين). This film was also a response to Mohammad Bakri's 2002 film Jenin, Jenin. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
