Jaffa-The Orange's Clockwork


This film shows how Jaffa started out as a Palestinian place name before becoming an Israeli brand name and how the orange harvest shifted from being a joint undertaking into a symbol used by both parties in the conflict. Archive film and photographs show how propaganda was used to erase the memory of a thriving place where Arabs and Jews worked together. Art historians and political analysts talk about the images which are projected onto their walls, and elderly orange growers remember the time before their world was destroyed.
