Sundance Opener 'Tantura': An Israeli Look At Violence Against Palestinians

In the 1990s, an Israeli graduate student conducted research into a massacre of Palestinian civilians in 1948, the year of Israel's establishment as a nation. That research led the student to be discredited, and labeled a traitor. A new documentary from Israeli producer Alon Schwartz, "Tantura," revisits that research, the violence it documented, and the efforts to gloss over some of the darker parts of Israel's fight for independence.
