The movie takes a look at the Israeli-Palestinian divide.
The film is a documentary, a movie about relationships and friendships between women in the West Bank and Israel. A group of unconventional women with dubious musical skills use a fake band as a cover story to cross forbidden borders into each other’s tangled lives in Israel and Palestine.
World Translation Center is proud to have participated in the translation and review of the subtitles.
Jen Heck, the director and guitar player, and producer Maria De La O gave Nonfictionfilm.com an exclusive first look at the documentary before festival programmers screened it. We found it moving and surprisingly tender, a film that makes the dynamics of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict so much more human and comprehensible than news reports or other documentaries that focus just on the region’s incessant violence.
