As the African National Congress voted Thursday to support the
Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions against Israel
known as BDS, declaring it was "unapologetic
in its view that the Palestinians are the victims and the oppressed in
the conflict with Israel," we look at a new film that examines the
apartheid analogy commonly used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian
conflict. "Roadmap to Apartheid" is narrated by Pulitzer Prize-winning
Alice Walker and puts archival footage and interviews with South
Africans alongside similar material that shows what life is like for
Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and inside Israel. The
documentary has just been released to the public after a year-long film
festival run, where it won numerous awards. We are joined by its
co-directors, South African-born Ana Nogueira and Israeli-born Eron
Davidson, both longtime journalists.Video
