Portraits of men and women who have known violence intimately and now see true nonviolence as the only hope for Israelis and Palestinians. Ali, imprisoned at 16, brother killed by an Israeli soldier, struggles to teach Gandhian principles to angry young men injured by Israeli soldiers. Shlomo left a settlement to live in Israel proper and work for interfaith dialogue.

This film, distilled from three years at different checkpoints, captures the distress of Palestinians awaiting permission to pass to attend to daily needs and tasks, as well as the arbitrary and arrogant behavior of the mostly young, heavily armed soldiers.

Since 2004, the people of Bil’in have conducted weekly nonviolent protests against Israel’s seizure of their land, and met with tear gas, rubber bullets, beatings and arrests. The ongoing situation has drawn Israeli and other allies–including the filmmaker, who documents the actions and his friendship with a young man made quadriplegic by an Israeli bullet.
