OVER THE WALL

"In 12 minutes and 9 seconds, filmmaker Roy Zafrani brought me to my knees with his short film Over The Wall. A must-see for every parent, the film illustrates the truth of our humanity through the eyes and actions of two young boys who learn that what they’ve been taught is different from the reality they’ve found. Equal parts bold and brilliant, the cinematography is incredible and the message is moving. A powerful lesson learned in 729 seconds."

THE FILM

A huge wall stands between Israel and the Gaza Strip. In a coincidental meeting between Nathan and Khaled, kids from both sides of the wall, the kids are surprised to find out that the reality is different than what they have been told. They become friends, but will this friendship last in the reality of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict?
