WALL is a personal cinematic meditation
on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in which
filmmaker Simone Bitton documents the
construction of the massive separation
barrier that is destroying one of the most
historically significant landscapes in the
world.
Bitton utilises her shared Jewish-Arab
identity to talk impartially to people on both
sides, blurring the lines of hatred in this
troubled region. |

She highlights some of the ironies - from the Palestinian construction labourers grateful for the
work to the concrete factory where business is booming - and also examines how the wall re-
presents security for one people and virtual imprisonment for the other.
Compelling and thought-provoking, WALL offers a last glimpse of the beauty of this land and the
humanity of its inhabitants as they disappear behind a shield of iron and concrete.
