Palestinians in Paraguay: Part 2 - The Shooting

After the 1967 war, Talal al-Dimassi was trying to build a life in Gaza, Palestine. He opened a repair shop and had a plan for his future. But that was all cut short when he was recruited into the Paraguay Scheme.

This episode follows Talal from the moment Israeli soldiers came to his shop door, to the fatal day he and another Palestinian man walked into the Israeli embassy in Asunción.
