Join the Discussion about the non-violent movement in Palestine; and joint struggles of Israeli and Palestinian peace activists, and their response to Israeli military violence.
The Palestinian village of Bil’in is about to lose over half of its territory to Israel. The residents of the village decide to embark on a struggle against the construction of the Wall. The film exposes the extraordinary relationship formed between villagers and the documentary’s Israeli director, Shai Carmeli-Pollak, who arrives with a group of Israeli peace activists to protest the construction. The film documents the familiar but uneasy relationships and conflicts that arise between Carmeli-Pollak, the villagers, and the Israeli Defense Force, in which he once served.
