Synopsis
In 1936, a record emerged of one of the earliest demonstrations of resistance: in Haifa, a Palestinian port city, a group detonated a pipeline belonging to British Petroleum, a company that had already announced, prior to World War II, its intentions for full-scale colonial occupation in the region. Drawing from an archival photograph, the testimony of an exiled Palestinian elder, and Google Earth images of a ‘secret’ island in the Persian Gulf, the reconstruction, through the margins of images, unveils an entire history about the planned massacre of a people. (C.A.)
