Memory of the Cactus
A documentary film revealing the true story behind apartheid Israel's "Canada Park", a story of dispossession, destruction and continuing displacement. In 1967 the three Palestinian villages of 'Imwas, Yalo and Beit Nouba in the Latroun enclave of the West Bank were razed to the ground after apartheid Israel occupied the territory. Today, the residents of those villages remain displaced and barred from returning, while apartheid Israel treats the land as if it were part of the "Jewish state" and refuses to acknowledge the Palestinian history of the area. Citizens of the occupation state enjoy barbecues and picnics in the Jewish National Fund's "Canada Park", oblivious to the crimes perpetrated in their names on that very land.
