Planet Israel

Dir. Gillian Mosely 2025, UK. 97m
After October 7th there was widespread, media led, sympathy following the Hamas attacks in Israel. Now, three years later much of this sympathy had gone as the world recoiled in horror at the brutality of the Israeli response to these attacks, while 73% of Israeli Jews are seemingly unperturbed. As a British-American Jew Mosely explored what has happened to make any Jew, a people who have experienced oppression, othering, and genocide, exhibit such moral and humanitarian numbness. More widely, how does the moral disengagement that allows atrocities the world over, happen? In this detailed film she interviews people across numerous areas of expertise including mental health, politics, the mediascape, and religion. The reality turns out to be so much darker as the mechanisms behind our disintegrating democracies and international laws are exposed.
