Headfirst Editor's Pick
"A maddening deep-dive into the economic machinery of the occupation of Palestine. Lowenstein’s shocking documentary reveals how Israeli military tech companies reap the rewards from their live ‘battle-tested’ human laboratory, making them the #1 export choice for genocidal regimes and Western neo-liberals alike."

Based on the book by award-winning journalist Antony Loewenstein, The Palestine Laboratory reveals how Israel has turned Palestine into a testing ground for weapons and surveillance technologies. In two parts, the film first exposes how these tools are trialled on Palestinians, then follows their export across the world — from authoritarian regimes to Western democracies — entrenching systems of repression far beyond Palestine.
Part of Bristol Palestine Film Festival 2025.
