Subject: Great work
Date: Jun 29, 2005
I have never felt compelled to write a review until I saw this movie. As a non-political American I have heard for years about the checkpoints where the Israeli border guards meet the Palestinian citizens, and I really did not understand. This movie is riveting. I can only call the treatment of the Palestinians trying to get through the checkpoint humiliating (and shocking). The woman are harassed and the men are abused. The border guards fair no better in system that places these young men in situations beyond their training or capacity for judgement. It is a real-time tragedy unfolding on the screen, full of hapless players, endless conflict, and implied ripples for generations. If you love freedom, this movie is painful.
