1m 36s
Kids taken from their homes and interrogated, violating international law. Almost all of the children are convicted and sent to prison. Behind the official reasoning there's an underlying systemic motive: when a child is jailed, its family won't make any noise. Three of the children, adults today, watch their own arresting interviews on webcam recordings and speak about their imprisonment. In 2023, Israel's government wants to censor the film. Most children arrested come from strong and prominent families close to Jewish settlements. Families that rise up against the occupation. Arresting their children makes them go silent, and scared. Arresting their children suppresses the resistance. The film shows the inner workings of the system: a demonstration or stone throwing in a nearby road is the pretext for a wave of nightly arrests of children, terrorizing the whole village. The threat of arrest also serves to recruit new informants. Thus, the youth is coerced into collaborating with security forces, further tearing the social fabric of the village and crushing solidarity. The film sheds light on the fact that 95% of arrested minors are from villages adjacent to Jewish settlements. Ostensibly, the arrests are a security measure, but there's an underlying systemic purpose to suppress the resistance particularly in those villages most prone to violent confrontations with settlers. Mass juvenile arrests create in these Palestinian villages a constant state of anxiety, debilitating uncertainty and constant deterrence.
