This is a documentary by James Miller:
While filming, producer/director James Miller
was killed by an Israeli soldier. He was considered a martyr to the
Palestinians and they waved his picture in the streets. Miller's death
came about after he and fellow crew members were attempting to approach
an Israeli APC
at night time, audibly and visibly suggesting their neutrality as
journalists by wearing helmets and flak vests marked "TV", waving a white flag
and walking slowly in the open. A first warning shot was fired by an
Israeli soldier, and a crew member reaffirmed their neutrality by
yelling "We are British journalists". Seconds later, another shot was
fired and hit Miller in the neck, killing him instantly. This occurred
while the crew was filming military activity from one of the children's
homes in Rafah, in the south of the Gaza Strip.
James Miller and crew had intended on illustrating this struggle from
the Israeli children's point of view also, but James was killed before
even the completion of the Palestinian segment of this film. His death
was incorporated as a major part of the film, with an explanation by the
narrator, Saira Shah, at the beginning of the film, and the full story
and reactions at the end. It is mentioned that Palestinian militants
made posters declaring that Miller was a martyr against the film crew's
wishes. (Note: The links that these docs were linked to were removed. Instead I inserted the full documentary here and on my Part 2 link, I inserted the doc in smaller portions for slow Internets)...You know not everyone in the world has fast Internet, like myself! Remember that!
