"Military occupation" is an abstract term, open to mistaken interpretation. What does "occupation" imply? What does it mean for people living under occupation? What means must be employed so that occupation can be implemented? This film instills meaning in the term "occupation" in the form of a "manual for military occupation" derived from the testimonies of those people who implemented it in practice. Director Avi Mograbi hosts the viewers in his living room and provides insights to how a colonialist occupation works, the logic behind the practices that it produces and the different modes of thought needed to be applied at different situations in order to maintain it. In his presentation Mograbi is using the 54-year Israeli military occupation of the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip as a case study.
