> * *Michel Khleifi, Eyal Sivan 2004 | Documentary Feature **
> **Route 181* is the result of Khleifi and Sivan's
> two-month journey from the
> south to the north of their country of birth. They traced
> their trajectory
> on a map and called it Route 181. This virtual line follows
> the borders
> outlined in Resolution 181, which was adopted by the United
> Nations on
> November 29, 1947 to partition Palestine into two states.
> As they travel
> along this route, they meet women and men, Israeli and
> Palestinian, young
> and old, civilians and soldiers, and film them in their
> everyday lives.
> Capturing the fragments of a land shattered by politics,
> history, and
> colonialism, *Route 181* presents an oral history from a
> wide variety of
> people living along the 1947 partition line. By portraying
> both the divide
> of the physical landscape and that of the humans who
> inhabit it, the film
> conveys a fuller understanding of this conflicted part of
> the world.
