"Rachel: An American Conscience"
A Documentary Film of the Tragedy of a Courageous Humanitarian Rachel Corrie (1979-2003) from Olympia, Washington wanted to right the injustice of the Israeli military occupation of Palestine. This film chronicles her work as a member of the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) in Rafah in the Gaza Strip prior to her murder in March 2003. She was attempting to stop the demolition of the home of the family of Dr. Samir Nasrallah; however, the Israeli soldier driver of the U.S. made Caterpillar bulldozer drove over her. Film Director Yahya Barakat, Professor of Mass Media and TV Department at Al-Quds University in Jerusalem, while focusing on circumstances of Rachel's tragic death, gives different perspectives of the conflict through interviews with individuals who criticize the illegal Israeli occupation, the U.S and Israeli governments, and the U.S. media coverage.
