The film bears witness to the
lives of Palestinian farmers who are hidden from the eye in the fertile Jordan
Valley. Their pastures have been declared military areas, their water wells
have been closed up and the water has been diverted to the Jewish residents of
the valley.
The director Irit Gal brings
the lives and the struggles of the Palestinian farmers into sharp relief.
Against the beautiful shots of desolate landscapes, with hills cut by lines of
shadow and light, and a topical focus on water access, Gal uses intimate
character portraits to show the challenges of life and labor in this hidden
areas of the Jordan Valley.
