Documentary programme looking back at the first Palestinian Intifada uprisings between 1936 and 1939, and into the forties, against the British, revealing the strong hold guerilla forces had over a large area, and the formulation of forces, courts and a new leadership based on the peasant villages emerging in what was, to all intents and purposes, an independent Palestine. It follows how this uprising was overshadowed by the post-war Jewish one, and considers the ways in which British decisions at the time contributed to factors in the present Israeli conflict.
