JENIN JENIN (2003)

Jon W. — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 07:59:53 +0000

Directed and co-produced by Palestinian actor Mohammad Bakri, Jenin Jenin includes testimony from Jenin residents after the Israeli army’s Defensive Wall operation. The city and camp were the scenes of fierce fighting which ended with Jenin flattened and scores of Palestinians dead. Palestinians as well as numerous human rights groups accused Israel of committing war crimes in the attack. The United Nations appointed a commission of inquiry, but Israel refused to let its members visit the scene.

Banned in Israel, Jenin Jenin is dedicated to Iyad Samudi, the producer of the film, who returned home to Yamun after the shooting of the film was completed. On June 23, as Israeli forces besieged Yamun, Samudi was shot and killed as he was leaving a militarily-closed area with three friends.

Director: Mohammad Bakri.
Writer: Mohammad Bakri.

This is a composite rip I made by combining a copy I found on a streaming service with a higher quality copy from eMule, the eMule rip had an issue at the end probably due to something going wrong with the capture from TV so for the last 7 minutes or so I used the other copy I had which was a bit lower quality. You can also find this one on Youtube.in slightly lower quality. Good documentary.
