Documentary, 1h 15m
This animated documentary about the efforts of Palestinians in Beit Sahour to start a small local dairy industry during the First Intifada, hiding a herd of 18 dairy cows from Israeli security forces when the dairy collective was deemed a threat to Israel's national security. The film combines documentary interviews with those involved in the events, archival footage, drawings, black-and-white stop-motion animation as well as re-enactments, and was co-directed by Palestinian visual artist and director Amer Shomali and Canadian filmmaker Paul Cowan. The film was the Palestinian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards.
