A Land Without Borders
Synopsis
Award-winning writer Nir Baram grew up in a political household. Both his father and grandfather were members of the Knesset and ministers. As Baram begins to lose faith in the possibility of a two-state solution, he decides to travel throughout the West Bank to speak with the local Palestinians and the Israeli settlers. The surprising revelations force Baram to reevaluate his hopes for a peaceful resolution to this conflict.

Reviews
-
"This important movie shows that haven’t even begun to speak about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
- Editor's Choice, "Time Out"
-
"A refreshing perspective, without moral patronizing…Baram’s honesty is unburdened by illusions. As a result, it opens a window on new approaches."
- Einav Shiff, “Yediot Aharonot”
-
"A film that angers right-wingers and makes left-wingers despair – it’s greatest importance is its presence here, right now."
- Ayman Sikhsek, “Walla”
-
"In a wise, dispassionate voice, Baram hears the unpleasant truths about the conflict."
- Doron Brosh, “Ma’ariv”
