Hurdle 2019
'IN THE SHADOW OF A WALL STANDS A NEW GENERATION OF PALESTINIAN. WITH DEFIANT CREATIVITY THEY PROVE THAT NO MATTER THE HEIGHT OF THE OBSTACLE, ONE CAN ALWAYS CLIMB.'
Hurdle provides an inspiring and visceral look at the next generation of Palestinian youth living in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The characters, separated from one another and living in the shadow of the Israeli separation wall, are united in their pursuit for self-determination. In an unexpected turn, the characters utilize the sport of parkour and the documentation of daily as tools to attain personal and political freedom. In a world with towering walls and constrictive checkpoints, the characters must bury self-doubt in order to lead their communities through a dramatic year of political and violent conflict.
