DJFF: A Land Without Borders

Director: Michael Alalu, Nir Baram

2017/Israel/62 minutes

Hebrew with English subtitles

Award-winning writer Nir Baram grew up in a political household. Both his father and grandfather were members of the Knesset and Ministers in the Israeli Labor Party governments. As Baram begins to lose faith in even the possibility of a two-state solution, he decides to travel throughout the West Bank to speak with the local populations on both sides of the conflict. He learns that, in crucially substantive ways, the groups don’t start from a common foundation. So how can they even participate in the same conversation? These surprising revelations force Baram to challenge his entire political belief system and reevaluate his own hopes for a peaceful resolution to this conflict.
