It is difficult to make a documentary about a military conflict that has raged for centuries, nay, millennia, between the Jews and Christians in the Holy Land. Who is right, who is wrong, who came first and who will be the last to leave? A documentarian can only present a glimpse, a split second in the history of a fraction of the world.
However, it is sometimes difficult to remain objective when presented with that sliver of reality. An oppressed population’s lives decimated by invading forces marching forward seemingly without humanity, treating their fellow man worse than cattle.
The Israeli army destroying homes, livelihoods, and ancient orchards without consequence, all to build an 8m high wall through Bethlehem that will enclose the Palestinian people forever, with the excuse of separating the Israelis from those they call terrorists.
It looks like something from a post apocalyptic dystopian future sci-fi movie, but it is not. It is reality.
