Checkpoint surrounded by small and large cement blocks, attached by wires. Bored soldiers detaining people, keeping them standing for hours all day long, bothering them with endless questions. This is what Hussein faces as he arrives early in the morning carrying his lunch waiting for any soldier to release him from the crossing to the settlement where he works. This film documents the lives of Palestinian farm workers and farmers both before and after Israeli settlers left Gaza.
Screened with Chic Point & Tunnel Trade
