Mustafa, played by the Israeli actor Ali Suliman (The Syrian Bride), and his wife Salwa come from two Arab villages that are only 200 meters apart, but separated by a barrier built to thwart suicide bombers. The couple does what they can to make this unusual situation work, with Mustafa flashing a light from his balcony every night and their signalling him back. One day Mustafa gets a call that every parent dreads--his son has been in an accident. With his work permit temporarily invalid for re-entry into Israel, he must find another way to reach his family.
Guest Speaker: West Coast NCSY Director and Director of CCJCC's Project Impact Akiva Naiman will provide the historic background for why the wall separating parts of Israel from the West Bank was erected.
