Martyr Street

Martyr Street, Hebron is the only place in the West Bank where Jewish settlers live in the heart of a Palestinian city; it has long been known as a flashpoint. History Television commissioned a follow-up on the children of Martyr Street. It was a much bigger story – largely hidden from the international media. The film explores the roots of violence on the street named for its dead. The children are featured with the adults in their lives; the soldiers, the teachers, the fanatics and the fatalists – each claiming huge stakes that are both incompatible and impassioned.
