Obstacle 2004

Directed by Nida Sinnokrot

In June 2002 Israel began constructing a 400-mile "security fence" inside the West Bank. In many areas, this fence is not a fence - it's a concrete wall, twice as high as the Berlin Wall. By documenting the people devastated by this construction, and through interviews with Israeli and Palestinian scholars, OBSTACLE reveals how the "need for security" is enabling Israelis to appropriate Palestinian land, vegetation and all their water resources.
