In the Spider's Web

Produced in 2004 by Al-Haq and directed by Hannah Musleh as part of Al-Haq's campaign to stop collective punishment practiced by Israeli occupying forces against Palestinian civilians. In the Spider's Web provides an overview of these punitive measures against the Palestinian civilians. While the film mainly addresses the accounts of two women, it also highlights the impact that collective punishment has on the whole civilian population. The film also takes the audience to a girls; school in Hebron, where it shows a typical day in the lives of these students. The documentary also seeks to capture and relay some of the disastrous implications of the continuing construction of the Annexation Wall and the further expropriation of land for its construction.
