5 DAYS

On the 15th of August 2005, Israel began the Disengagement of the Gaza Strip. In a unilateral move, decided on by the Israeli government, the Jewish settlers were removed from their homes and villages. It is one of the most significant historical events of the past few decades in the Middle East. After years of confrontation with the Palestinians, the Israeli army has earned a reputation for firmness. For the first time, it is being forced to turn its iron fist against a Jewish population. This film tracks the key events of the Disengagement over the course of five days.
