Gaza, l’enfermement

A prison with one million inmates; that’s how the people of the Gaza Strip regard their land. Gaza is an area of 288 square kilometers surrounded by electrified fences. Lacking natural resources and being one of the poorest places on earth, Gaza is dependent on the ties with Israel, its enemy. Since 1991 it has become increasingly difficult for Palestinian workers to cross into Israel. Made by an Israeli and Palestinian crew, the film shows the nerve-racking process of getting people and goods in and out, and the growing frustration and deprivation of the local population. The film also presents the different Israeli viewpoints. In this never-ending conflict, is it possible to see and hear things as they are?
