Documentary movie made by a group of Israeli left-wing activists. Its starting point is a demonstration of its members against the security wall in the occupied territories. It consisted of an attempt to breach it, but ran into the harsh response of the Israeli Army and one of the demonstrators was shot. The authors of the film use the response of the media and of the politicians to the footage of their friend's shooting as a motif to discuss the importance of a left-wing alliance in Israel against the political establishment and against the army that would provide enough civil opposition in order to stop and reverse the building of the wall. The main message is that the security wall just encourages more and more lack of transparency and increases violence rather than bringing democracy and security. |
