The Wanted 18 is a 2014 Canadian-Palestinian animated documentary about the efforts of Palestinians in Beit Sahour to start a small local dairy industry during the First Intifada, hiding a herd of 18 dairy cows from Israeli security forces when the dairy collective was deemed a threat to Israel's national security. The film combines documentary interviews with those involved in the events, archival footage, drawings, black-and-white stop-motion animation as well as re-enactments, and was co-directed by Canadian filmmaker Paul Cowan and Palestinian visual artist and director Amer Shomali. The film has been selected as the Palestinian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.

Synopsis

L'œuvre présente les efforts des Palestiniens habitant la ville et la région de Beit Sahour, en Cisjordanie, pour démarrer une petite industrie laitière locale au cours de la première Intifada, en cachant un troupeau de dix-huit vaches laitières aux forces de sécurité israéliennes qui considérait la production de laitages comme une menace pour la sécurité nationale d'Israël.

Puis l'activiste contre les ordures Annie Leonard a apporté sa conférence de deux heures à Free Range, qui l'a aidée à le transformer en une animation révolutionnaire de 20 minutes. Montré dans des milliers de salles de classe, à l'infini, encensé par Fox News, visionnées plus de 10 millions de fois, l'Histoire des Choses ouvre enfin la porte à un dialogue culturel sérieux sur les coûts de la consommation.

Strawberry Fields points out that strawberries grown in Gaza are the only agricultural product marketed internationally as being of Palestinian origin. One of the major Gaza strawberry farms in located at Beit Lahiya. More than 1,500 tons of strawberries are exported from Gaza to Europe through the Israeli company Agrexco. In order to get overseas, however, the fruits need to pass through the checkpoint that separates Israel and Gaza. The 2005–2006 growing season coincided with the Israel's disengagement from Gaza and the rise of Hamas as the ruling political entity. The armed conflict between Israel and Hamas resulted in the closing of the border checkpoint. The strawberries grown at Beit Lahiya cannot leave Gaza, resulting in significant losses for the farmers and their Agrexco partners. Unable to transport their produce, the farmers have no choice but to dispose of their crop and prepare for the following year’s growing season.
