(Shilton Ha Chok). The Law in These Parts focuses sharply on the forty-five-year-old Israeli military justice system: a parallel military legal system with jurisdiction over people who live under occupation, in the same territory as Israeli citizens. Archival footage from decades of occupation, including the incessant demolition of Palestinian homes, is inventively juxtaposed with insider interviews, as cinematographer Shark DeMayo brings visual weight to the director’s insistent probing of topics many would prefer to avoid. Ten years into the “global war on terror,” this story sounds a necessary alarm. Kathleen Denny
