Made by youth from the Al-Rowwad Center in the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem, this short film poignantly captures the routine inconvenience and indignity suffered by Palestinians trying to get to their jobs on the other side of a massive and dehumanizing checkpoint.

Anne Paq is a French photographer who has been living in the West Bank for the past four years. She has focused her work on the daily life of Palestinians, the refugees, non-violent resistance, the Wall and its impact on the communities. In 2006, she became the coordinator of Images for Life, a project run by the Al Rowwad Center in the Aida refugee camp. The project is aimed at empowering Palestinians through training in photography and film-making. This is her first experience in film-making.

Mimmi Nietula is a journalism student from Finland. She has made a few short documentaries in Finland and one in the Aida refugee camp called Next Door to Freedom, 2007.
