Behind The Fence:
In June 2002, Israel began construction of a massive security wall in the area of the Green Line, the unofficial border where Israel meets the occupied West Bank. The wall, the Israeli government said, was designed to prevent Palestinian 'terrorists' from entering Israel. This film unfolds as the world is preoccupied by the war on Iraq and barely shows a flicker of recognition or interest in the wall, despite its huge implications. Inigo
Gilmore reports.
Stereo/Widescreen.

It's perhaps a bad sign that the show employs Sharon's twisted logic to describe the show -
30 foot high concrete, 100's of miles long and they call it a "fence"
but it may offer a rare insight into the suffering of the Palestinian people.
