Israel
The interminable drama and conflict of life in the occupied territories is played out against a green field of cultivated strawberries in this creative documentary that provides a fresh take on a much debated and seemingly endless human tragedy. Filmmaker Ayelet Heller trains her camera on the small red fruit and all those who are charged with nurturing them from seedlings in the Gaza Strip en route to their destination in European gourmet food shops. All the while, the disengagement, the Hamas victory in the Palestinian elections and the ongoing battles, bombings and rhetoric continue to rage in the background. The occupation, globalization and politics-as-usual are all challenges facing the berries and those who work the land in this rich, nuanced and award-winning film where Mother Nature is but one of the forces at play.
Presented with SHIT AND CHICKS.
