In the spring of 2006, Ayreen Anastas and Rene Gabri, traveled to Palestine and Israel, searching, researching and witnessing the situation. From their trips, they created a series of videos that document their encounters with people from various walks of life struggling, resisting, surviving, suffering and living their everyday lives.
The video follows their 16-day journey, covering stories at a new location every day. What Everybody Knows moves from the everyday to establishing the connections of what Israeli activist-architect Jeff Halper has called "the matrix of control' throughout the Occupied Territories.
