Winner of the Sundance world documentary jury prize, Law In These Parts explores the four-decade-old Israeli military legal system in the Occupied Territories. Since Israel conquered the territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in the 1967 War, the military has imposed thousand of orders and laws, established military courts, sentenced hundreds of thousand of Palestinians, enabled half a million Israeli "settlers" to move to the Occupied Territories and developed a system of long-term jurisdiction by an occupying army that is unique in the world. Why does Israel invest so much into the legal infrastructure of the occupation? What is the rationale behind the work of the people charged with developing and upholding the law? Law in These Parts tries to answer these questions while also exploring the implications of the very effort required to document such a system. * contact the Venue listed below for ticketing information
