THURSDAY, 21 JUNE:  7.00pm
Mur (Wall, France/Israel, 2004  M offensive language, 96
mins) Simone Bitton's The Wall takes a riveting and
distressing look at the   wall being built around Israel at
stupendous cost, destroying   communities, endangering the
environment and threatening to postpone   indefinitely any
reconciliation between Israel and Palestine. Because
Israelis don't want the jobs, all the work is being done by
Palestinians who are, in effect, building their own prison.
– Philip   French, Observer, 5 December 2004
