In Australia since the end of 2025 there has been much controversy over the term "Intifada", its use, and there are calls for it to be banned. What was the Intifada? It's literal meaning is "shaking off". It is commonly used to refer to revolutions and revolts. Its most popular use in this context is the Palestinian Intifada. By 1987 the Palestinian people in the West Bank and Gaza Strip had been living under Martial Law for 20 years. Protests against this quickly boiled over into a widespread popular revolt that centered on boycotts and labour strikes. With the official leadership in exile or jail much of this was also organised and led by Palestinian women. These non-violent work stoppages were met with acts of collective punishment like the "bone breaking policy" from the IDF to try to end the strikes. This documentary explores both of these strands of the story of the Intifada.
