DVD Description
In the summer of 2002, Michel Khleifi and Eyal Sivan, a Palestinian and an Israeli, travelled together from the south to the north of their country of birth, traced their trajectory on a map and called it Route 181. This virtual line follows the borders outlined in UN Resolution 181 that was to partition Palestine into two states. As they travel along this route, they encounter men and women, Israeli and Palestinian, young and old, civilians and soldiers, filming them in their everyday lives. Each of these characters has their own way of evoking the frontiers that separate them from their neighbours: concrete, barbed-wire, cynicism, humour, indifference, suspicion, aggression… Frontiers have been built on the hills and in the plains, on mountains and in valleys but above all inside the minds and souls of these two peoples and in the collective unconscious of both societies. With Route 181: Fragments of a Journey in Palestine-Israel, Michel Khleifi and Eyal Sivan take us on a disorientating journey across this tiny territory with vast ramifications.
Special Features
The DVD set includes an extra DVD with unseen material, maps, interviews with the directors and UN Resolution 181 in full.

This documentary is an excellent work portraying various and randomly chosen people along the partition line of 1967, both Jews and Palestinians/Arabs. IT illustrates a number of different viewpoints and fates, and made me understand with much greater depth the complexity of the conflict and the problematic relationship between the two parties involved.
