Israel's largest news website showed our film and stated that Israel was launching an investigation into how we succeeded in smuggling a video camera into their prison.
Internationals jailed by Israel for openly declaring plans to travel to Palestine
13 British and Irish people were stopped at Tel Aviv airport in July 2011. Five hours later they, and 107 other internationals, were in a high security prison in Israel. Their 'crime' was to state openly that they were travelling onto Palestine for a cultural visit.
An Undercurrents reporter recorded and smuggled out a secret video recording of their six nights locked up in the high security prison in Israel. The video clips show women scrubbing the prison floors, jail cells slamming, and daily life inside the hot cells. Tense interactions with the Israeli guards were captured.
