Promised Lands
In 1973, Susan Sontag travelled to post-war Israel to film a documentary.
Details
Sinopsis
Susan Sontag scrutinizes the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict and the growing divisions within Jewish thought over the question of Palestinian sovereignty. Shot in Israel during the final days of the Yom Kippur War. Promised Lands is less straight documentary than visual collage. There are images of combat zones and soldiers, but also everyday street life, desert landscapes, funerals, supermarkets, the Wailing Wall. The soundtrack is snatches of radio, bursts of church bells and gunfire, and an extended voiceover from two politically opposed Israeli thinkers.

Editor's Take
The soundtrack alone is worth the price of admission. 'Promised Lands' is an auditory and visual feast.
