A documentary on how British double-dealing during the First World War ignited the conflict between Arab and Jew in the Middle East. The bitter struggle between Arab and Jew for control of the Holy Land has caused untold suffering in the Middle East for generations.

Yet the roots of the conflict are to be found much earlier – in British double-dealing during the First World War.
