DESCRIPTION:Two years after the Israeli army laid siege to the Balata refugee camp and 
 invaded the Jenin refugee camp in the spring of 2002, a group of young 
 Israeli former soldiers and officers held a photo exhibition in Tel Aviv. 
 Through the exhibition, entitled "Breaking the Silence," the former 
 soldiers confessed to acts of aggression during their duty in the Occupied 
 Territories, as members of what is called "the most moral army in the 
 world." Their testimonies portray how the young soldiers positioned with 
 absolute authority lose their sense of humanity, ethics and morality to 
 become increasingly brutal to Palestinians in the course of service.  
 Seeking to regain their own humanity and hoping to bring awareness of 
 Israeli society to the reality of the Occupation, they had decided to break 
 the silence and speak out.  The film illustrates the psychology of the 
 soldiers of the Occupying power while it depicts suffering inflicted upon 
 the Palestinian people by Israeli soldiers' mindless acts of 
 aggression.\n\nDirector Toshikuni Doi has been covering Israel/Palestine 
 for over twenty years. This film is his most recent work of four film 
 series "Unheard Voices" which was crafted from several hundred hours of 
 footage in Israel/Palestine.  Although the film "Breaking the Silence" won 
 several awards and recognition in Japan this is the first film tour outside 
 of Japan.  After the film shows in New York he will visit Bay Area to 
 attend this show. \n\nSponsored by the BFUU Social Justice Ctee as part of
