Abstract
As indicated in the title of the movie, this documentary strives to unveil to us the depths of the Islamic Resistance Movement, the Hamas, which is considered a terrorist organization by the European Union, the United States, Israel and the Canada. It has been shot during the years 2004-2005 and reveals many facets of the movement, from its creation in 1987 to its coming to power in 2006, as well as its controversial actions and activities. The Hamas aims at re-conquering the lost territories, claiming a "right of return?, and maintains that Israel has no right to exist. It has a deep and varied popular support. Its militants are students, doctors, as well as workers or engineers. The refugee camps, where misery and resentment are widespread, are its favorite recruitment grounds and for the development of its activities. The documentary underlies the fact that the adhesion to the movement is based in deep psychological roots.
