It is a story of the human potential unleashed when we stop participating in a story that no longer serves us, and with the power of our convictions take action to create a new possibility.

Старый друг Ари Фольмана, сидя ночью в баре, жалуется ему на то, что его преследует один и тот же ужасный сон: за ним гонятся 26 разъяренных собак. Почему 26? «Все очень просто, — отвечает приятель, — когда мы были на войне в Ливане, в 82-м году, в моей роте знали, что я стрелять в людей не смогу. Мне поручили перестрелять всех собак в арабской деревне. Собаки воют и лают, когда чувствуют чужаков и, таким образом, предупреждают террористов. И я перестрелял всех 26 собак, которые были в этой деревне. С тех пор они мне снятся каждую ночь. Ты мог бы что-нибудь с этим сделать?»

The pro-Palestinian, anti-capitalist, BDSM-provocative, techno-punk performance art ensemble (!) Hatari unsurprisingly drew attention to themselves with their performance at the Icelandic qualifiers for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Should they boycott the event, swallow their idealism or use their airtime to criticise the host country for their illegal occupation of Palestine? The Icelandic director Anna Hildur joins the boys in the band all the way to the fateful final. Produced by the team behind the Nick Cave film '20,000 days on Earth'.

From ancient times this tiny coastal territory, located at a crossroads between continents, has been a pawn whose fate rested in the hands of powerful neighbours.

Najwa, Nawal and Siham, three Palestinian widows, live with their 11 children in a house on Shuhada Street in Hebron. Their house lies on the border; the façade is under Israeli occupation, the Palestinian authority controls the back. At the entrance to the house a military post, on the roof the Israeli army has placed a watch point over Palestinian Hebron. Three women, trapped in the middle, constantly surrounded by Israeli soldiers, carry on their difficult lives in a perverse situation: the occupation becomes a routine, the absurd becomes a given. This is the story of an occupation that extends to the staircase and the roof of the house, where it encounters poverty, loneliness, pain, but also the small joys of everyday life. This is an internal prison, the external one is the ongoing occupation.
