Last Supper: Abu Dis
Documentary Dutch premiere
While walls have been brought down in most parts of the world, a new one
is being built right now on Palestinian soil. Last Supper: Abu Dis documents
the last days in which Ali and Sumaya can see the sun set behind the old
town of Jerusalem from their terrace, and go to visit their neighbours across
the road. It is a testimony of how the village of Abu Dis and its inhabitants
slowly get incarcerated by the 8-meter high Israeli wall. While the village
gets encircled with a speed of 10 to 15 metres a day, the inhabitants talk
about their isolation with deep sadness.
