Palestine 1920: The Other Side of the Palestinian Story is an Al Jazeera Arabic documentary that challenges the colonial narrative long used to justify Jewish settlement in Palestine. Rejecting the famous phrase "a land without a people, for a people without a land," the film draws on archival documents and historians' testimonies to present Palestine as it actually was at the dawn of the 20th century: a thriving province within Greater Syria and the Ottoman Empire, with vibrant trade, growing infrastructure, and a nascent cultural identity. A landmark piece of historical journalism that restores a suppressed dimension to one of the 20th century's defining stories.
