Synopsis: “Documentarian Yoav Shamir captures the frustration and humiliation that Palestinian travelers face on a routine basis as they encounter the imposing checkpoints controlled by Israeli soldiers. Without narration or explanations, Shamir simply turns on his camera to record the different scenes as they unfold. For the Palestinian travelers, they never know when they will be allowed to make the journey to visit friends and family, or even make it to a hospital, while the soldiers follow their orders.” (Rotten Tomatoes)
