The documentary that deciphers the mystery of Hamas: watch this evening on LCP

This evening at 8:30 p.m., LCP broadcasts the documentary, Hamas: the making of a monsterdirected by Sofia Amara. This film questions the complex nature of Hamas, its origins and its role in the current context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

An organization with many faces

The documentary explores the birth of Hamas and its relations with the Muslim Brotherhood, asking the question of whether the Islamist organization is an instrument of submission of the Palestinian people or a strategic actor supported by Iran. Through sequences filmed in the field and interviews with experts, the film highlights the varied interests that intersect around this entity, often perceived as a symbol of resistance. Archival footage enriches the story, providing historical context essential to understanding the evolution of Hamas.

Resistance in the Arab world

The documentary also highlights how, since October 7, 2023, Hamas has become, in the collective imagination of Palestinians and in the Arab world, a symbol of the fight against Israeli occupation. Sofia Amara discusses the repercussions of this perception, both positive and negative, on Palestinian society. By alternating between poignant testimonies and in-depth analyses, the film questions the place of Hamas in the current political panorama, while exploring the consequences of its rise for Fatah and the Palestinian Authority.

Hamas: the making of a monster offers a nuanced analysis of this complex organization, between manipulation and resistance. The documentary will be available for replay on LCP after its broadcast.
