An animated documentary feature about playwright David Hare's eye-opening journey to Israel and Palestine, the visually striking WALL explores both sides of the Israel/Palestine separation barrier. Countering the mainstream media deluge of clichéd images from the Middle East, the film examines, on both literal and metaphoric levels, the barrier's profound and far-reaching effects on two cultures. Adapted from Hare's acerbic, challenging monologue, WALL takes a fresh and vital look at the complex conundrum the barrier presents us with: that while it has demonstrably helped to secure Israel, it is also having life-shattering implications for the Palestinians whose lives it divides.
