1. I Went To Palestine's Most Surveilled City To Expose Israel's Wolfpack AI: What I Found Broke Me (2025) dir. Mnar Adley

Join MintPress director Mnar Adley as she embarks on walking through the city of Hebron, where her family originates from. Known to Palestinians as the city of al-Khalil, Hebron is the largest and most populated Palestinian city in the West Bank. Dubbed by Israel as ‘Hebron Smart City’ – this is where Israel tests its Draconian surveillance technology on the Palestinian population as part of what is called the Wolfpack surveillance system. Mnar Adley takes us along her journey as she crosses through the most heavily armed and surveilled checkpoints in the world where Israel has set up an automated apartheid system to track Palestinian movement. Adley is joined by Palestinian activist Izzat Karake from Youth Against Settlements who chronicles the struggle against settler colonialism where armed Jewish settlers supported by Israeli soldiers are trying to take over the city to Judaize the quarter.

2. The Red Stone (2012) dir. Ahmad Damen

The Red Stone is symbol like no other in the world and is only found in the Jerusalem area in Palestine. However, the hands that once carved and constructed these stones into a beautiful residence are now not capable of touching those same stones again. Used prominently in the construction of the architectural heritage of the Palestinian civilization back in the 20s and 30s of the last century. Tracking this stone takes us on a journey through the neighbourhoods of Western Jerusalem where Arabic Architectural treasures stand tall in the face of war and expulsion of the Arab residents in 1948.

3. Who Killed Shireen? (2025) dir. Conner Powell

Major investigative documentary examines the facts surrounding the murder of Palestinian American Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, as she was reporting in Jenin, in the occupied West Bank, in May 2022. It sets out to discover who killed her - and after months of painstaking research, succeeds in identifying the Israeli sniper who pulled the trigger.
