Iron Wall
Palestine 2007 • 52 mins • Director: Mohammed Alatar • Subtitled
There are more than nine million Palestinians, yet more than six and a half million
are refugees or expatriates. Palestinians are being squeezed into isolated and
disconnected ghettos and enclaves as more and more of their land is seized to build
the wall separating them from Israeli settlements.
The Iron Wall exposes this phenomenon, and follows the historic and ongoing
development of the Israeli settlements – revealing how their construction has been
a cornerstone of Israeli resettlement policy, and demonstrates how the wall secures
the Israeli settlements as permanent and irreversible facts on the ground.
This documentary warns that a contiguous and viable Palestinian state is becoming
an impossibility, and that the chances for a peaceful resolution of the conflict are
slipping away.
