Along a one-kilometer road in the heart of the Palestinian city of Hebron lies H2 -- a neighborhood with a Jewish settlement closely guarded and highly surveilled by the Israeli military. At the end of this stretch of road lies the Cave of the Patriarchs, a holy place for both Jewish and Muslim faiths. This is where both the Hebron Massacre of 1929 took place -- effectively birthing the Jewish settlement movement -- and where the policy of ethnic separation was first implemented by the Israeli military. Rich with history of Jews and Muslims and the only city in the State of Palestine with a Jewish settlement, H2 has acted as both a microcosm for the entire conflict and as a laboratory for the methods of control implemented by the Israeli occupation of the West Bank for over 50 years. H2: The Occupation Lab is a clear-eyed case-study using archival footage and interviews to tell the city's history and how it has fueled the entire Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

While it’s set in the West Bank rather than Gaza, it provides a thought-provoking look at events that are very much in the news these days. Go to Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat 05/14/2024

The prime importance of a documentary like H2: The Occupation Lab is to get that other perspective, be informed, and develop a more educated position. Go to Full Review Dennis Harvey 48 Hills 05/10/2024
There's no overt case-pleading in the dispassionate assembly of materials here. But a furious gist emerges still... Go to Full Review Read all reviews
