Six Days in June: The War That Changed the Middle East Forever | FULL DOCUMENTARY

May 7, 2007 – Instinct Films (Canada) Productions, Point du jour (France) and Alma Films (Israel) are proud to announce the television premiere of SIX DAYS IN JUNE, a ground breaking 104-minute documentary that brings a contemporary perspective to the Six Days War of 1967. SIX DAYS IN JUNE makes its world television premiere in early June when it will be broadcast on PBS, ARTE, Societe Radio-Canada, Channel 10 Israel, SBS Australia, RAI Educational and RTBF. Although the fighting lasted only six days in June of 1967, the effects of the Six Day War are still apparent today. On its 40th anniversary, the region remains trapped in a conflict as explosive as it was then. “Although, the 1967 war was a military success for Israel, this event also had serious consequences for the region. Many of which we are still experiencing today,” explains director Ilan Ziv. Shot on location in Israel, Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Moscow and Washington, SIX DAYS IN JUNE takes us through the weeks that preceded the war, its six days of fighting and the aftermath that still lingers today. It is the first documentary film that looks at the war not only as a tale of victory and defeat, but also as the birth of the new Middle East. “Throughout the film, the viewer will hear the testimonies of those who were directly implicated in these six intense days. We get a full picture of this era from soldiers, civilians, politicians, generals and others who were right there,”says Ziv.
