12/19/2013 This movie is an eye opening struggle of a people who are forgotten by many. Like the native Americans who struggled to keep their land, this movie shows the human side of the Palestinians that we often don't see. It is very well directed and extremely beautiful to watch. See more 12/12/2013 I thought this a very thoughtful, beautifully filmed documentary concerning the plight of the Palestinians in Acca, the ancient city formerly in Palestine, now Israel. with the onset of modernism and political agenda, the Palistinians, and the makers of this film, portray very human individuals from children on up struggling to stay in Acca. They cannot remodel their houses. They do not receive equal education, and yet the message or theme of this film as not vituperative. Stating the facts. It caused me to wonder about the global backlash of Imperialism. Most people believe that humankind is one. I know the Palestinian, Jewish Man and myself were vocal about this subject with the director. She gave me her card, and I think it fell out of my pocket, but kudos to all connected to this film. The photography was incredible and the film definitely was enhanced by shots of youth jumping/plunging into the deep waters. The film was tight, human, luminous and insightful. I recommend it highly.
