Negative Positive
Title: Superb!
Review: The passions on each side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict are shown in spectacular fasion in this documentary. The Israelis plan to build a border wall and/or fence separating the country from the East Bank, meaning that the Palestinian village of Budrus will lose many acres of land. On that land are planted olive trees, a major source of income for the villagers. Shown mainly from the Palestinian perspective, it is apparent that the people of Budrus do not oppose the wall; they merely want it to be built not on their land but on Israeli land. Nonviolent protests take place in the hopes of stopping the bulldozers but rock throwing by the Palestinians and shooting by Israeli forces shows how emotions can become inflamed. This is a fascinating look at how people CAN make a difference in their community. Highly recommended.
