Fantastic documentary film

This is a visually beautiful film. Human stories interlaced. Somehow it evades a binary structure and brings in strands of the political and personal that enlarge. As Geoffrey Stokes wrote in his review, " One thing that's valuable about a film like this is that it shows us places that writing alone leaves too abstracted. Here we get an immediate sense of certain bustling city streets, tranquil farms and other landscapes, perhaps the most piquant and resonant being those that flank the Wall, i.e. The structure that's called a security fence by one side, an apartheid fence by the other. Nearby, Beller visits a spirited, sardonic Israeli woman who's painfully aware that she's chosen to live in a place where her children could easily be picked off by snipers."
