Amos Gitai returns to the West Band occupied territories for the first time since his documentary "Field Diary" (1982). Describing the efforts of citizens Israelis and Palestinians trying to overcome the consequences of the occupation, the film shows the human ties woven by human rights activists, journalists, mourning mothers, the military, and Jews settlers. Faced with the failure of politics to solve the occupation, these women and men rise and act in the name of their civic consciousness. This human energy is a proposal for a long overdue change.
