$Get the Land Back! (a\/k\/a Grandma's Half-Acre)$

Tel Aviv leftie Irmy finds out that his only inheritance is a piece of land in the occupied Palestinian territories purchased by his grandmother during the British Mandate. To make matters worse, he also learns that right-wing Israeli Jews have settled on the land and made a winery out of it. So, together with his father, Irmy concocts an ingenious ruse on the settlers, the army, and the Israeli government in a maneuver to get his land back. What begins as a sardonic quest to recover a contested piece of real estate evolves into an activist escapade that exposes ironies in the mechanisms of the law in the occupied territories, which some call Judea and Samaria. (This is a hilarious and eye-opening documentary.)
