About 700 Palestinian minors are arrested and jailed every year by the Israeli security forces in the West Bank. They are taken from their homes at night and interrogated, with mental and physical pressure, which violate international law.
Subject to the military court system, almost all of them are convicted and sent to prison. Behind the official reasoning there’s an underlying systemic motive: when a child is jailed, its family won’t make any noise.
These human rights violations have been documented in numerous reports over the years. Leaked videos of the interrogation tactics show the children being painfully handcuffed and sleep deprived, with no lawyer, no interpreter and no parental presence. They are pushed to confess and turn in their friends.

Three of the children, adults today, watch their own arresting interviews on webcam recordings and speak about their imprisonment. "Two Kids a Day" also features a soldier who detained children, the judge who ruled on their case, Israeli and Palestinians lawyers who represent them, and the West Bank's chief prosecutor. Along with the interviews and archive materials, the documentary shows juvenile arrests in real time.
"Two Kids A Day" premiered in the Israeli Documentary Competition of the Jerusalem Film Festival, where it won the Best Research Award. Screenings were picketed by right-wing activists and Israel's government wanted to censor the film.
Original title: Two Kids a Day
