Settling The Facts is a new, groundbreaking documentary about Israel’s ā€˜settlers’ and the settlements. It is presented by British businessman and Israel supporter Roger Walters (not Waters!!) Roger felt that, for the average person, the term ā€˜settler’ is just a word in a mainstream news article depicting supposedly radical extremist Israelis. Roger felt this was a misconception that needed to be changed.

Most importantly of all, the viewer will likely leave the film wondering whether settlements may in fact, be part of the answer to peace than an obstacle!

He explained that the film, called Settling The Facts: A Deeper Look At Israeli Settlements, interviewed dozens of Jews from Judea and Samaria in an effort to ā€œput a human face on Israeli settlers who are otherwise often portrayed as radical and fanatic.ā€

ā€œWhile the film has a clear objective, we absolutely speak to people from all sides of the debate,ā€ Walters explained. ā€œYou will see many Israeli settlers, international law experts, activists from across the spectrum of opinion, from the most anti-settler to the most pro-settler.ā€

The documentary even includes interviews with Palestinians that work alongside Israelis in the settlements and are supportive of growing ties.

 
What’s interesting to note: the companies and small businesses which employ many Palestinians, produce ā€œpeaceful’ products, such as perfumes, useful items for everyday use, foods, wines.

As opposed to building miles of tunnels for terrorist activities, and stockpiling weapons

The Palestinians interviewed in the movie had their faces blanked out and their voices digitally altered, for fear of reprisals against their families.
 
How does it compare to Theroux's The Settlers ?
