Cast Lead (Piombo Fuso) Directed by: Stefano Savona/ Italy.

This is the second film that i saw at the Mumbai fil Fest 2009. Had this been a film seen on the third or the fourth day iw ould have walked out half way!

The film is a docu drama about the people in the Gaza strip suffering as a result of the attacks by Israel. Although Israelis call these attacks an assault on the terrorist outfit ‘Hamas’, the Palestinians in Gaza consider themselves victims of Israeli violence as a result of American ulterior motives. As such the Palestinians in Gaza are in complete support of the Gaza.
The docu is too dragged and boring as unlike Petition the Chinese documentary that had a story line and structure this one seemed going nowhere. Nothing different is told in 80 minutes of filming that could not have been crisply conveyed in 30 minutes or may be even less.
