[01:01:10:09]   
 
Sir! You have to turn that off.
 
[01:01:12:12]
 
[01:01:19:15]   
 
We need to get in! There's over 200 people out here!
Move away and let them in!
 
[01:01:23:03]
 
[01:01:24:12]   
 
Please! Keep away from the gate!
 
[01:01:27:22]
 
[01:01:34:19]   
 
Starting to feel like I'm in Tijuana a little bit.
 
[01:01:37:04]
 
[01:01:37:11]   
 
-We're negotiating with the press officer...
-Get away from the gate!
 
[01:01:39:20]
 
[01:01:40:03]   
 
It's a nice day to cross.
 
[01:01:41:21]
 
[01:02:01:04]   
 
I thank the people of Egypt for this moment.
 
[01:02:06:06]
 
[01:02:06:08]   
 
They allowed us to enter Gaza.
 
[01:02:09:11]
 
[01:02:10:02]   
 
This is the first time I've entered for 46 years!

HAMAS SPOKESPERSON
 
[01:04:18:02]   
 
[01:04:26:12]   
 
First of all, the occupation (Israel)
began lashing out against Islamic Jihad
 
[01:04:31:18]
 
[01:04:31:18]   
 
and they killed five members of Islamic Jihad.
 
[01:04:34:02]
 
[01:04:34:03]   
 
They continue to treat (attack) Hamas
and all the other parties inside Gaza
 
[01:04:38:19]
 
[01:04:38:23]   
 
for massive killings and more and more
assassinations to the members of Hamas.
 
[01:04:43:09]
 
[01:04:46:01]   
 
The occupation (Israel)...
 
[01:04:47:03]
 
[01:04:49:02]   
 
Yes, the Israel occupation attacked
a celebration of Islamic Jihad.
 
[01:04:53:06]
 
[01:04:53:08]   
 
So, the Islamic Jihad defended the Palestinians
and defended themselves.
 
[01:04:56:19]
 
[01:05:03:17]   
 
No, this is not true. Islamic Jihad and Hamas -
all of them - are moderate Islam.
 
[01:05:08:08]
 
[01:05:08:09]   
 
Islamic Jihad and Hamas
believe with democracy, believe with elections,
 
[01:05:13:14]
 
[01:05:13:14]   
 
believe with respect to the religions,
including the Jewish and the Christians.
 
[01:05:18:03]
 
[01:05:18:09]   
 
The main cause of escalation
began from the occupation.
 
[01:05:21:23]
 
[01:05:22:08]   
 
Islamic Jihad, Hamas, Fatah and all of them
resist against the occupation
 
[01:05:25:15]
 
[01:05:25:19]   
 
in order to put an end to this escalation.
 
[01:05:28:14]
 
[01:05:28:14]   
 
We resist like Charles de Gaulle and George Washington
and Churchill resisted against the occupation.
 
[01:05:34:13]
 
[01:05:50:09]   
 
-Who is this? Step back!
-Step back!
 
[01:05:52:18]
 
[01:05:57:18]   
 
Raise the volume a little...
 
[01:05:59:02]
 
[01:06:01:09]   
 
In the name of Allah-
the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful...
 
[01:06:03:02]
 
[01:06:03:04]   
 
The criminal Zionist enemy is adamant about
continuing his blatant aggression.
 
[01:06:07:24]
 
[01:06:08:20]   
 
He continues to spill blood and kill the Palestinians.
 
[01:06:12:10]
 
[01:06:12:16]   
 
The enemy has to know that our resistance
will not squander one drop of its sons' blood
 
[01:06:21:00]
 
[01:06:21:13]   
 
and any foolishness on their part
will always be followed by a strong response.
 
[01:06:27:07]
 
[01:06:27:17]   
 
Allah is the most great
and the pride belongs to Islam!
 
[01:06:30:10]
 
[01:06:30:17]   
 
We are the resistance!
 
[01:06:31:17]
 
[01:06:32:00]   
 
Until victory! Until victory!
 
[01:06:33:18]
 
[01:06:34:05]   
 
Anybody have a question?
 
[01:06:35:07]
 
[01:06:35:18]   
 
- Just what is your position on the ceasefire?
 
[01:06:38:14]
 
[01:06:39:05]   
 
Dear brother, we have a clear position.
We are with the Palestinian national unanimity.
 
[01:06:43:21]
 
[01:06:44:01]   
 
But, this will not prevent us from responding
to any violation by the Zionist enemy!
 
[01:06:48:18]
 
[01:06:50:02]   
 
May Allah bless you.
 
[01:06:51:14]
 
[01:06:52:20]   
 
- We just need to take a few pictures.
 
[01:06:54:20]
 
[01:06:55:06]   
 
Get together, guys.
Raise your weapons.
 
[01:06:56:19]
 
[01:06:57:04]   
 
Ah, yes. Yes.
 
[01:06:58:07]
 
[01:08:04:13]   
 
We're on location and it doesn't seem
like anyone is doing construction.
 
[01:08:07:21]
 
[01:08:08:07]   
 
What's going on?
There's no one in here...
 
[01:08:11:17]
 
[01:08:12:08]   
 
What's this building for?
 
[01:08:14:10]
 
[01:08:14:12]   
 
It's going to be an orphanage.
 
[01:08:16:10]
 
[01:08:16:15]   
 
Do you live in it?
 
[01:08:18:15]
 
[01:08:18:19]   
 
No, I live down there...
 
[01:08:20:18]
 
[01:08:29:17]   
 
Write this down... it's true there's a building code
violation, but no construction is going on.
 
[01:08:34:04]
 
[01:08:37:10]   
 
Let's go! I'm coming!

Go through whatever you want
but don't break anything!
 
[01:10:24:16]
 
[01:10:24:18]   
 
Hurry! Handcuff him!
 
[01:10:26:09]
 
[01:10:27:07]   
 
-What are you filming?
-Search around here!
 
[01:10:29:20]
 
[01:10:30:02]   
 
Here's the hashish!
Here it is!
 
[01:10:31:16]
 
[01:10:31:24]   
 
Here... hold it. Hold it.
 
[01:10:33:05]
 
[01:10:41:24]   
 
We've had this for a long time here.
 
[01:10:43:12]
 
[01:10:47:12]   
 
If we catch it, we put it here.
 
[01:10:50:01]
 
[01:10:50:02]   
 
This is a small piece of cocaine.
 
[01:10:52:09]
 
[01:10:53:10]   
 
It's worth... 100 Shekels ($27 USD).
 
[01:10:57:04]
 
[01:11:07:07]   
 
This is 100g of hashish.
 
[01:11:11:00]
 
[01:11:11:07]   
 
This ranges from 2700-3000 Shekels ($725-$800 USD).
 
[01:11:14:06]
 
[01:11:14:14]   
 
Carry on with the inspection!
 
[01:11:16:23]
 
[01:11:33:13]   
 
People use Tramal because cocaine,
hashish and opium are hard to find.
 
[01:11:37:24]
 
[01:11:40:06]   
 
From Egypt... from the tunnels.
It enters with the goods.
 
[01:11:43:24]
 
[01:11:44:12]   
 
Are all of these are manufactured in India.
 
[01:11:46:24]
 
[01:11:47:08]   
 
Most Arab countries are flooded with Tramadol!
 
[01:11:48:23]
 
[01:11:49:11]   
 
All of these Indian companies
 
[01:11:51:21]
 
[01:11:51:21]   
 
are supervised by Israeli companies
that aim at destroying young Palestinian men!

You're driving me nuts
calling me when I'm working!
 
[01:12:05:15]
 
[01:12:07:01]   
 
You have no idea how stressed I am!
 
[01:12:09:22]
 
[01:12:10:21]   
 
Okay, bye... bye.
 
[01:12:12:07]
 
[01:12:50:20]   
 
One time they caught me with two pills.
I was in jail for a month.
 
[01:12:56:11]
 
[01:12:56:19]   
 
-Are they easy to find?
-Yes, the whole strip costs 50 Shekel ($13 USD).
 
[01:13:00:07]
 
[01:13:00:09]   
 
-Very easy to find.
-It's everywhere.
 
[01:13:03:07]
 
[01:13:03:21]   
 
Everyone is selling them.
 
[01:13:05:17]
 
[01:13:05:21]   
 
You guys are airing this on TV, aren't you?
 
[01:13:09:14]
 
[01:13:10:03]   
 
Why do you care if we broadcast it?
 
[01:13:12:19]
 
[01:13:12:22]   
 
Because my face will be aired in the morning.
 
[01:13:15:07]
 
[01:13:15:15]   
 
-Yes, we have a story to tell. Are you scared?
-I don't want my brothers to hear me.
 
[01:13:21:11]
 
[01:13:21:16]   
 
-If [your brothers] knew what you did, what would they do?
-I'd get beheaded.
 
[01:13:25:14]
 
[01:13:25:21]   
 
Did the availability of Tramdol increase
before or after Hamas came to power?
 
[01:13:28:16]
 
[01:13:28:24]   
 
After Hamas came to power. Because of the
disgust, sadness, and despair, we started to use it.
 
[01:13:34:02]
 
[01:13:34:17]   
 
Are you scared that there will be another war?
 
[01:13:36:14]
 
[01:13:36:18]   
 
We don't care anymore!
 
[01:13:38:11]
 
[01:13:38:17]   
 
We've become desensitized.
 
[01:13:41:24]
 
[01:13:42:14]   
 
I hope there's another war where all of us die!
 
[01:13:44:10]
 
[01:13:44:20]   
 
Dying is better than living like this.

Rise up for Salvation
 
[01:14:22:23]
 
[01:14:23:18]   
 
Hasten towards prayer
 
[01:14:27:12]
 
[01:14:28:17]   
 
God is the most great
 
[01:14:30:16]
 
[01:14:31:05]   
 
There is no God but Allah
 
[01:14:35:20]
 
[01:14:54:13]   
 
-Where are these reporters from?
-VBS.
 
[01:14:57:17]
 
[01:14:58:09]   
 
Usually, we sit down and
talk with the journalists beforehand.
 
[01:15:01:10]
 
[01:15:01:17]   
 
But, you guys are shooting right away!
We may have things that are prohibited to film!
 
[01:15:07:01]
 
[01:15:08:16]   
 
Okay... just stop. Just wait.
 
[01:15:12:07]
 
[01:15:13:03]   
 
- We built this jail one year ago.
 
[01:15:15:15]
 
[01:15:15:21]   
 
All the prisoners in Gaza
equal about 1,200 in five jails.
 
[01:15:21:10]
 
[01:15:31:12]   
 
A prisoner who smoked hash
will get one year until execution.
 
[01:15:37:00]
 
[01:15:39:23]   
 
If he's a civilian, by hanging.
 
[01:15:42:08]
 
[01:15:42:11]   
 
If he's military, by shooting him.
 
[01:15:44:22]
 
[01:15:50:12]   
 
This section is drugs.
 
[01:15:52:14]
 
[01:15:56:21]   
 
Thirty-six.
 
[01:15:58:00]
 
[01:16:00:20]   
 
Last time, we caught him with 150g of hash.
 
[01:16:05:14]
 
[01:16:05:19]   
 
This man is good good good!
 
[01:16:08:16]
 
[01:16:10:10]   
 
He wants me to give him a holiday.
 
[01:16:12:23]
 
[01:16:14:21]   
 
After this week, we have the Eid al-Adha holiday.
 
[01:16:18:14]
 
[01:16:18:19]   
 
We will give most of them holidays
to them and their families.
 
[01:16:23:16]
 
[01:16:26:19]   
 
We have his family sign
to pay some money if he doesn't return.
 
[01:16:34:02]
 
[01:16:34:06]   
 
Or, we put them in jail.
 
[01:16:37:24]
 
[01:16:40:01]   
 
May Allah bless you in this life and in the hereafter.
 
[01:16:43:04]
 
[01:16:43:12]   
 
Everything will be fine, Allah willing.
 
[01:16:45:08]
 
[01:16:48:12]   
 
From this jail? No.
 
[01:16:50:08]
 
[01:16:51:23]   
 
We have a section for women.
 
[01:16:54:16]
 
[01:16:54:17]   
 
This leads to a room with
about 15 to 20 female prisoners.
 
[01:17:01:13]
 
[01:17:03:12]   
 
The prisons here now in Gaza...
there are some women in it.
 
[01:17:08:03]
 
[01:17:08:05]   
 
But, the number is very limited.

Nearly 30.
 
[01:17:15:14]
 
[01:17:16:15]   
 
30 or 40. Between 30 or 40 women.
 
[01:17:19:07]
 
[01:17:25:07]   
 
Different crimes. You know... different crimes.
 
[01:17:28:09]
 
[01:17:31:00]   
 
I bear witness
 
[01:17:33:24]
 
[01:17:33:24]   
 
that there is no God except Allah
 
[01:17:39:01]
 
[01:18:03:15]   
 
-Who is fasting today?
-All of us!
 
[01:18:05:07]
 
[01:18:05:11]   
 
All of us? Excellent.
 
[01:18:08:10]
 
[01:18:09:00]   
 
Who has benefited the most
from "the program" so far?
 
[01:18:12:12]
 
[01:18:13:02]   
 
Do you like "the program"?
 
[01:18:15:00]
 
[01:18:15:10]   
 
Shall we renew it or not?
 
[01:18:16:22]
 
[01:18:16:24]   
 
-No.
-What?
 
[01:18:18:03]
 
[01:18:18:22]   
 
Let's not renew it?
 
[01:18:20:08]
 
[01:18:20:13]   
 
Do you feel that anything new
has been added to you? Have you benefitted?
 
[01:18:24:01]
 
[01:19:00:05]   
 
In Gaza, the woman can do everything she wants to.
 
[01:19:03:21]
 
[01:19:04:10]   
 
She works freely... she drives the car freely...
 
[01:19:08:02]
 
[01:19:08:06]   
 
She can be anything she wants.
 
[01:19:10:15]
 
[01:19:10:16]   
 
No one can prevent her.
 
[01:19:11:24]
 
[01:19:12:02]   
 
So, you will find the woman
in the ministry... in the hospital...
 
[01:19:16:17]
 
[01:19:16:18]   
 
In the school... in the university...
 
[01:19:19:03]
 
[01:19:19:13]   
 
You can see the woman anywhere.
And she can do anything she wants.
 
[01:19:24:02]
 
[01:19:31:17]   
 
Yes, Hamas is very progressive for the woman.

We destroy any of these locally made rockets.
 
[01:21:55:06]
 
[01:21:55:08]   
 
Whether it contains explosives or not,
we destroy it because it represents a threat.
 
[01:21:59:10]

Shoot! Shoot!

- Captain Abu Ahmad, are you scared?

[01:24:52:10]   
 
We don't get scared.
 
[01:24:55:07]
 
[01:25:00:14]   
 
This is a scary quantity!
 
[01:25:02:16]
 
[01:25:02:18]   
 
This could be the biggest quantity
we've ever destroyed!
 
[01:25:04:20]
 
[01:25:06:13]   
 
Oh Lord, accept our efforts and crown our success
 
[01:25:09:20]
 
[01:25:09:20]   
 
Oh Lord, we ask you to cast this affliction away

JASON MOJICA
PRODUCER
 
[01:25:50:16]
 
[01:25:50:01]   
 
He's an American who loves life!
 
[01:25:52:06]
 
[01:25:52:13]   
 
Keep him in there
so no one will ever find him!
 
[01:25:55:23]
 
[01:25:58:24]   
 
Are we all set?
 
[01:26:00:21]
 
[01:26:01:00]   
 
Okay, let's go.
 
[01:26:01:24]
 
[01:26:02:04]   
 
-God is the Greatest!
-In the Name of God!
 
[01:26:05:12]
 
[01:26:05:23]   
 
2...1...
 
[01:26:09:07]
 
[01:26:17:13]   
 
-Let's give it another go.
-Listen, there's a problem with the roll.
 
[01:26:21:20]
 
[01:26:24:12]   
 
Hurry! Hurry! And bring the extra roll
in your magnum!
 
[01:26:26:10]
 
[01:26:26:13]   
 
Hurry! We have to fix it!
 
[01:26:28:17]
 
[01:26:32:13]   
 
I'm worried something might happen to them
while they're working over there.
 
[01:26:35:15]
 
[01:26:35:15]   
 
By God's will, nothing will happen.
 
[01:26:37:06]
 
[01:26:41:19]   
 
Man, there's always surprises at work!
 
[01:26:44:01]
 
[01:26:44:07]   
 
Should we get Jason?
 
[01:26:45:17]
 
[01:26:45:23]   
 
No.
 
[01:26:47:15]
 
[01:26:47:18]   
 
-Fire in the hole!
-All set!
 
[01:26:49:22]
 
[01:26:49:23]   
 
Get inside!
 
[01:26:51:16]
 
[01:26:53:06]   
 
Have faith in God. Press the button!
 
[01:26:54:13]
 
[01:26:54:13]   
 
Let's detonate! 1! 2! 3!
 
[01:26:57:07]
 
[01:27:13:02]   
 
Get a shot! Wow!
 
[01:27:14:14]
 
[01:27:15:08]   
 
God is the Greatest!
 
[01:27:16:15]
 
[01:27:24:01]   
 
We're safe and sound...
 
[01:27:25:08]
 
[01:28:27:24]   
 
Take care that there's an airplane in the sky!
 
[01:28:31:01]
 
[01:28:32:12]   
 
Yeah, drone!
 
[01:28:33:20]
 
[01:28:34:01]   
 
But [the drones] may shoot you!
 
[01:28:36:11]

SAMAH AHMED
ACTIVIST
 
[01:29:19:16]
 
[01:29:34:17]   
 
Yeah, because you know who controls the situation?
The security here in Gaza.
 
[01:29:40:05]
 
[01:29:40:12]   
 
And, if I have no problem with the internal security,
I can do whatever I want.
 
[01:29:45:00]
 
[01:29:45:16]   
 
If I get through this time, I'm gonna be lucky.
 
[01:29:48:15]
 
[01:29:48:15]   
 
But if I don't, it doesn't mean
that I will stop trying.
 
[01:29:52:06]
 
[01:29:52:08]   
 
The Hamas movement didn't need more enemies.
 
[01:29:55:10]
 
[01:29:55:15]   
 
But, they created a new enemy.
 
[01:29:57:18]
 
[01:29:57:20]   
 
I will keep fighting them at
the last seconds of my life.
 
[01:30:02:03]
 
[01:30:04:19]   
 
Peace be upon you.
We want to cross the crossing.
 
[01:30:07:01]
 
[01:30:07:10]   
 
We have a Palestinian girl,
can she accompany us or not?
 
[01:30:10:15]
 
[01:30:10:23]   
 
Take this, it's from the crossing.
 
[01:30:13:14]
 
[01:30:14:12]   
 
Samah is not allowed.
 
[01:30:15:22]
 
[01:30:16:12]   
 
I'll talk to them inside. Hang on, Samah.
 
[01:30:20:18]
 
[01:30:31:18]   
 
Get in the car.
 
[01:30:33:14]
 
[01:30:58:03]   
 
To the left!
 
[01:30:59:10]
 
[01:31:37:24]   
 
I need to get my money!
 
[01:31:40:06]
 
[01:31:40:13]   
 
-No! No! No!
-I'm not leaving until he gives me my money!
 
[01:31:43:00]
 
[01:31:43:04]   
 
Give me no less than 50 Egyptian pounds!
 
[01:31:45:03]
 
[01:31:45:15]   
 
-Fuck off!
-Fucker!
 
[01:31:47:00]
 
[01:31:47:00]   
 
-Fuck you!
-Your sister!
 
[01:31:48:10]
 
[01:31:48:10]   
 
-You fucking...
-Your sister!
 
[01:31:49:19]
 
[01:31:50:12]   
 
Your sister mommy!
