John Pilger returns to the West Bank for this 2004 update on his 1977 film.

In 1977, the award-winning journalist and film-maker, John Pilger, made a documentary called Palestine Is Still The Issue (1977). He told how almost a million Palestinians had been forced off their land in 1948, and again in 1967. In this in-depth documentary, he has returned to the West Bank of the Jordan and Gaza, and to Israel, to ask why the Palestinians, whose right of return was affirmed by the United Nations more than half a century ago, are still caught in a terrible limbo -- refugees in their own land, controlled by Israel in the longest military occupation in modern times. 'The fate and struggle of the Palestinians,' says Pilger, 'are not just critical to the overdue recognition of their basic human rights, but are also central to whether the region, and the wider world, are plunged into war.'
