PRIVATE INVESTIGATION


Directed by | Ula Tabari

Genre documentary  |  Length: 90mins  |  Year of production: 2002


�All Palestinian kids in Israel used to hold the Israeli flag and sing for Israel in Arabic each year we used to do that, to celebrate � we would prepare dance shows, theatre plays and songs! A lot of decorations and flags went everywhere� and no one said anything. But the next day, which is the official independence day, when all families and friends were supposed to go out on a picnic somewhere or to the beach� my father used to feel sick and we never left the house�
(Statement by director Ula Tabari).

In her insightful and personal debut documentary Tabari intelligently probes the multiple paradoxes and tensions effecting Palestinian identity politics inside pre 1967 Israeli borders.
