Unexpectedly filled with moments of poetry and humor, Palestine Blues tells the story of a village’s confusion and desperation; their daily victories and wrenching defeats. This award-winning documentary, shot over six months, focuses on the farming village of Jayyous, bearing witness to the destruction of many of its ancient olive groves and farming lands by the bulldozers and weaponry of the Israeli army in its inexorable charge to raise the security wall across occupied Palestine. With an insider’s access and heart-wrenching footage, sometimes shot from a hidden camera, Palestinian-American filmmaker Nida Sinnokrot humanizes the struggle of the Palestinian people whose stories are too often forgotten by the mainstream media.
