The film is a revelation of the Tantoura Massacre that took place in May 1948 and was only recognized half a century later. The film presents Tantoura as a model for the “greater massacre” that has been committed by the colonialist and racist Zionist movement with the purpose to ethnically cleanse all Palestinians and establish a Fascist body in the service of imperialism. The film is based on available historical material and on testimonies from Tantoura survivors living in Palestine, Syria and Jordan. It is a two hour long documentary that contains details and proofs of this massacre where the natives of Tantoura, the beautiful village on the Palestinian Mediterranean shore, were its victims.
