About this talk
Screening + Q&A: Into the Darkness, Life Inside Israeli Prisons. Former Palestinian detainees describe violence, deprivation and abuse inside Israeli prisons. Through powerful first-hand testimony, former detainees recount beatings, starvation, sexual violence, medical neglect and psychological abuse. The film follows the stories of Mohammad Ibrahim, a Palestinian-American arrested at the age of 15 for throwing stones, and a former detainee from Gaza whose harrowing testimony details extreme sexual violence. Their accounts reveal the human cost of a detention system that rights groups and former prisoners say operates with impunity. Filmed across Gaza, the occupied West Bank, Tel Aviv, Florida and London, the documentary examines allegations that these practices are carried out under the authority of Israeli officials, including National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
