Cows on Film

This cow movie is at TIFF:
Through stop-motion animation, drawings and interviews, directors Amer Shomali and Paul Cowan recreate an astonishing true story from the First Palestinian Intifada: the Israeli army’s pursuit of eighteen cows, whose independent milk production on a Palestinian collective farm was declared "a threat to the national security of the state of Israel." 
 
Somehow I get the feeling that there's more to the story than that. But, hey, that's just me.

This cow moooo-vie is not at TIFF: Hamas rockets kill 30 cows in Israel (video).
