A new 120-minute film, depicting the atrocities committed by the Palestine Liberation Organization in Lebanon during its participation in the seven years of civil war there, has been produced by the Israel Film Service, a department of the Ministry of Education and Culture.
Yigal Ephrati, the film service director, said the Foreign Ministry, the Jewish Agency and Keren Hayesod have already purchased 200 copies of the film “The Meaning of Liberation” and expressed the hope that the total number of sales will reach 500. He expressed confidence that Jewish Federations in North America and Christian supporters of Israel also would buy the film.
The film was put together in response to strong anti-Israel criticism touched off by Israel’s move into Lebanon. The film, which describes in a low-key style the history of the takeover by the PLO of large parts of Lebanon, has been prepared in English, French, Spanish and German language versions. Its price is $200.
