Israeli account of Shatila at Cannes
Updated on 15 May 2008
In competition at this year's Cannes Film Festival is an animated account of the 1982 massacre of Palestinians in the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut.
The slaughter of civilians by militiamen brought international condemnation on the Israeli army, which stood by and let it happen.
As our arts correspondent Nick Glass reports, one of the most extraordinary things about the documentary Waltz with Bashir is that is was made by an Israeli who was serving in the army at the time.
