| Summary: | Soros Documentary Fund
Israeli-born filmmaker Ra'anan Alexandrowicz follows a group of Palestinians from the West Bank on a three-day sightseeing tour through Israel. Many of them have never crossed what they call "the green line." When the tour bus stops on a beach, several of the children see the sea for the first time. One young man flirts with two young women from Italy, reluctantly revealing that he is Palestinian. On a tour of a kibbutz, this same young man makes a videotape for his mother. The Israeli bus driver jokes with an older Palestinian man who has three wives. One young woman calmly talks about her husband, who was involved in the killing of an Israeli soldier during the Intifada, and has been imprisoned for life. One man asks a cab driver to take him to the spot where Yitzhak Rabin was killed and then he explains that the two of them have met before. Later, the group visits the Tel Aviv Amusement Park. “The Inner Tour” reflects the thoughts of ordinary people while putting into focus the human emotions underlying the vast and overwhelming Middle East conflict. |
