Contents

[edit] Plot

A fact-finding tour to the hotly disputed Gaza Strip includes Donna, Admiral Fitzwallace and a few members of congress as they sort through the thicket of rival issues between the Palestinians and Israelis—but the killing fields soon claim some of the delegation when a deadly bomb shatters their vehicle and has the President considering targets for military action. In flashbacks, Donna is attracted to a dashing British photojournalist who opens her eyes to the conditions faced by inhabitants in the area.

[edit] Production

The incident in Gaza is based on the October 15, 2003 bombing of an American diplomatic convoy in Gaza, which killed three Americans.[1]

[edit] Awards

The episode was nominated for an ASC award for cinematography.[2]
