Earlier this week, Israel came under fire for expropriating almost one thousand acres of land in the West Bank -- clearing the way for the development of a new Israeli settlement. It comes on the heels of a 50 day war between Israel and Hamas, the latest in the bloody history of this conflict. Premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival this Sunday, a new documentary tries to pull back the layers of that history. Day 6 talks to Israeli-born Jewish director Tamara Erde about her film, This Is My Land. She follows students and teachers in six Israeli and Palestinian schools over the course of a year to find out how history is taught in the region.
