This award-winning video examines the issues of housing and residency
rights in Jerusalem and how they affect the Palestinian population in
the city.  Since it annexed East Jerusalem in 1967, the Israeli
government has pursued a deliberate policy to limit the Palestinian
population in the city, while at the same time seeking to increase
the Jewish population.  The video explores the Israeli policies of
land confiscation, construction of Jewish settlements, denial of
building permits, and the separation of Palestinian families.  While
the future of the negotiations between the Palestinians and the
Israelis is uncertain, it is clear that the issue of Jerusalem will
be one of the most difficult questions to resolve.  _Jerusalem: An
Occupation Set in Stone?_ provides crucial information to help
understand the importance of Jerusalem to Palestinians.

"This forceful documentary explores the devastating effects of
exclusive Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem from the Palestinian
perspective....  _Jerusalem: An Occupation Set in Stone?_ introduces
us to Jerusalemites we rarely hear from -- Palestinians who have
suffered from what they see as the repressive measures of Israeli
occupation."  --  The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

"Changing demographics, border closures and competing claims to the
city are examined in dramatic eyewitness testimony and startling
footage skillfully shot and edited...this is an immediate and
unforgettable document."  -- The Toronto Jewish Film Festival
