Rachel
Simone Bitton 2009 docu 100 min.
Simone Bitton (Wall, Citizen Bishara) has crafted a dispassionate but
devastating essay investigating the circumstances of Rachel Corrie's death.
Rachel looks to capture the spirit of Corrie's youth and her political
commitment, while delivering a rigorous excavation into the killing of the
US peace activist and International Solidarity Movement member in Gaza in
2003. A few weeks after her death, an internal inquiry by Israeli military
police quietly concluded that Corrie had died in an accident. Bitton's
stirring film moves between this "official" version of events and the
testimony of soldiers, witnesses, and fellow activists, as well as that of
Corrie's family and friends, and her own voice, recorded in a journal.
