Stone Cold Justice
Dir. Gabi Weber, Australia 2014, 45m, UK Premiere

The Israeli army is both respected and feared as a fighting force. But now the country's military is facing a backlash at home and abroad for its treatment of children in the occupied territory of the West Bank.

A joint investigation by Four Corners and The Australian newspaper reveals evidence that shows the army is targeting Palestinian boys for arrest and detention. Reporter John Lyons travels to the West Bank to hear the stories of children who claim they have been taken into custody, ruthlessly questioned and then allegedly forced to sign confessions before being taken to court for sentencing.

Followed by panel discussion with Keith Hammond from GRAMNet.
