Wall

A profoundly haunting geographical marker of our time - The Wall that seperates Israel from Palestinian territories.It was filmed quite differently from other documentaries.

There was more silence that made a lot of noise than the few interviews that were conducted from both ends of the wall. It costs $2 million dollar per "One" Km and they're expecting to cover 500 km. The documentary depicts how both ends are not happy with the wall and how it actually serves no purpose except wasting money. Crazy thing about this, it's being built by the Palestinians so they can make a living (that the pay is good so they can feed their family) because Jews would refuse to work this way.

I suppose the interviewee was implying that Jews are above this; that this is a job for those who suffer from unemployment.I felt like I was being strangled when I was watching how the walls are being built and how opposite it looks from each end. The Israeli end is all painted in different colors of trees, houses, birds and how on the other side, it's all just a mess and chunks of the Palestinian land is destroyed.

One guy's income was from his 2,700 trees (olives, wallnuts, plums etc) and now he's not left with much, even his olive trees are dying after they began the construction of the wall.

The director/interviewer was very balanced. She's an Israeli Morrocon and identifies herself as an Arab Jew. At one point in the movie, she finds herself struggling when speaking from both sides of the wall.It's interviews like the one she conducted with the director general of Israel's Defense Ministry that would make your stomach turn. He was such a cold blooded a**hole.

The most powerful part of this documentary for me was when you watch people talking with one another through the gaps in the walls and how they climb over the concrete wall and barbed wire to get to work or to get somewhere and simultaneously, you see an Israeli helicopter hovering above them. The Palestinians are not just imprisoned by the wall but now they can't even escape or protect themselves when Israeli soldiers decided to start shelling.

What a sad reality! very very sad.
