Arab Take on PLO From Founding to Arafat's Death

In 1948, the state of Israel was proclaimed. Palestine was lost.

Sixteen years later, the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) was founded.

Made up of different factions, the PLO has been at the heart of the struggle to regain Palestine ever since.

This six-part series tells the story of the PLO, beginning with its creation in 1964 and ending with the death of Yasser Arafat, the PLO leader, in 2002 and subsequent Hamas victory in the 2006 parliamentary elections and ensuing Hamas-Fatah power struggle.

PLO: History of a Revolution features exclusive interviews with some of those who were at the heart of the Palestinian armed struggle over the last 50 years, including the last interview Arafat gave in which he discussed the history of the movement and first-time interviews with key operatives of the notorious Black September Organisation.
