This Danish documentary draws a parallel between the Biblical story of David and Goliath and the transformation of the State of Israel into a "Goliath" in relation to the "David" represented by occupied Palestine. Filmmaker Hanne Hoyberg focuses on issues of press freedom in Israel, showing how official censors maintain tight control by cancelling the press credentials of foreign journalists critical of government policy. She also shows how the Israeli Government Press Office prevents journalists from having contact with people in the occupied territories. Various players in recent press controversies are interviewed or are shown pursuing their stories.
