The Olivebranch & the Gun (2002)

In this one-hour film, layer after layer of Arafat's life is peeled away to reveal a man plagued by inner conflicts, torn between the international pressure to achieve peace and his inner need for conflicts that affirm and demand his leadership. Historical footage is interspersed with statements by Arafat himself and surprisingly candid comments by historians, members of his family, fellow freedom fighters and ordinary Palestinians.
