About the Film and Filmmaker, George Sluizer
Homeland is the fourth film in a series about two Palestinians families George Sluizer followed since 1974. Homeland is also a personal film about George's motivation and his relationship with members of the two families who became very close. They are now scattered around the world, unable to return to the homeland. It's also a historical saga about the Palestinians and their struggle for land and dignity.
George Sluizer's deeply personal and impassionned HOMELAND is an emotive reflection on war.
Sluizer's recent near-death experience provokes a reckoning with his own history, when he reunites with the two families he has filmed since 1974. His story is set in the ongoing tragedy of the Palestinian diaspora, and his involvement with his subjects is poignant nearly beyond measure.
HOMELAND is a very rare opportunity to assess the Palestinian story personally.
