For six days in June 1967, war erupted between Israel and three neighboring countries -- Egypt, Jordan and Syria -- over the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Forty years after the attack, the land Israel claimed during the Six-Day War is still hotly contested. Using a mix of archival footage, declassified documents and first-hand accounts by the people who saw the battle unfold, filmmaker Ilan Ziv explores a crucial milestone in the Middle East's history.

Bill Stamets Chicago Sun-Times In the compelling documentary Six Days, Israeli director Ilan Ziv details the conflict that set Egypt, Syria and Jordan against Israe;. Rated: 3/4 Jun 29, 2007 Full Review Michael Phillips Chicago Tribune [Director] Ziv's relative sense of balance and context is admirable, though the whole thing may be too broadly focused to sharpen anyone's perceptions of this conflict. Then again, maybe that's too much to ask of any film on a horribly open-ended subject. Rated: 3/4 Jun 28, 2007 Full Review Ed Gonzalez Slant Magazine So, you had to be there? Not really. The Middle East for Dummies gets the job done better and leaves you with less of a headache. Rated: 2/4 Jun 17, 2007 Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International Given the current-day significance, Six Daysshould have been fascinating. Sadly, it is not. May 29, 2007 Full Review Louis Proyect rec.arts.movies.reviews Fascinating look back at the 1967 war which created the conditions that have led to suicide bombs, 9/11 and other terrorist forms of retaliation against Zionist domination.
