The Fifth War, is a 1980 Palestinian movie, directed by Monica Maurer and Samir Nimr, and starring Vanessa Redgrave. with a runtime of 66 minutes.
The Fifth War is a war documentary that stands as both a testament to international solidarity and a stark reminder of its human cost. Co-directed by an Iraqi and a German filmmaker and featuring a British actress in a key role, the film bears witness to the violence of the Litani Operation and the broader devastation of conflict in the region. The production's commitment to proximity was profound and tragic — two crew members lost their lives during filming. The result is a raw and urgent document of war, shaped by the courage and sacrifice of those who believed in the power of cross-cultural filmmaking to bear witness where others looked away.
