This film is about Robert Martin the Australian activist who lives in Melbourne. Robert was drawn to Palestine at the commencement of Israels Gaza attack. Robert began to investigate what actually was happening in Palestine and couldnt believe what he was reading. He knew he couldnt rely on mainstream media for the truth so he decided to see for himself. Robert knew he was in for an eye opening trip immediately after the Israeli army entered the bus he was in and asked to see his passport. After disembarking the bus he was invited to the front of the line to have his passport checked again, this shocked Robert a bit as he saw so many Palestinians in the line and he refused to push in the line. Robert made a trip to Bilin as he had made contact with Hamde Abu Rahma and was keen to see the village in which Hamde lived.. Robert was being given a quick tour of the village (its small as so much of its land has been taken) when he saw the truth of live under occupation. Hamde and Robert had been chasing some animals as Hamde wanted to take pictures of them and they were interrupted by soldiers. An army van came rushing down the road, stopped quickly and a few soldiers stood up and shouted they must move. This startled Robert as it was so unexpected, Robert asked the soldiers what was happening.. He then was faced with an M16 being pointed straight at him as the other soldiers told him to leave. Everything Robert had read and heard about could not have prepared him for what he had just witnessed as the disregard towards the Palestinians was so blatant, how could this be?
