De kunst van het wegkijken

How has the world been able to watch the human rights violations in Gaza for so long? Why do we look away from this and what are the consequences for the meaning of international law in the future? A tour of those Dutch people who do feel responsible and speak their conscience, such as civil servants who have protested every week and who are prepared to accept the ultimate consequences. With Liesbeth Zegveld, Alma Mustafic, Berber van der Woude, Angélique Eijpe and Jan Pronk.
