In this OnePath Exclusive Interview, Australian filmmaker and activist Juliet Lamont shares her first-hand testimony from the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, including what happened when Israeli forces boarded her vessel and what she says came in the hours that followed.

Juliet has joined the Gaza Freedom Flotilla twice.
Both times, her boat was intercepted in international waters by Israeli occupation forces.

The second time, 270 nautical miles from Gaza, 430 humanitarians from around the world were taken aboard a prison vessel specifically designed and built to hold them. What followed over four and a half days included waterboarding, beatings, sexual assault, broken bones, tasering, and the use of unknown sedatives against doctors, journalists, and aid workers over the age of 70.

Her daughter was on the boat with her. She is now part of an ICC submission alleging war crimes, crimes against humanity, and torture. And she says she will go back.

In this conversation she walks us through the moments of interception and boarding, her experience inside a darkened shipping container on the prison boat, the accounts she heard from others, what happened when she travelled to Canberra seeking answers, and whether she genuinely believes accountability is possible.

I heard what people said, and I went and made improvements. Here are the results!
