This man who makes the difficult things in the documentary history. He is Amos Gitai who returns to the West Bank to better understand the efforts of the citizens which still strange for the world, both Israelis and Palestinians. Amos does this mission in order to overcome the consequences of the 50-year occupation. These are new Interspersing footage of his interviews with Yitzhak Rabin from the 1990s with the contemporary interviews in a difficult mission.
The maddeningly unfocused Israeli documentary West of the Jordan River doesn't reveal anything insightful about Gaza settlers' reasons for either supporting or rejecting a two-state solution.
Everyone in Israel and the territories wants peace according to Gitai's doc, but still there is no peace. Could the people be moderating their real views to get space in this film, or is there another reason?
Interviews mostly liberal Israeli politicians, journalists, and activists in civic organizations working to bridge the gap the government won't cross--feels sadly dated .
Not only a thought-provoking, moving and surprisingly optimistic documentary, but an intimate, handmade artifact that can look forward to wide exposure on the festival circuit ahead.
Through interviews with Israeli politicians, and Palestinians and Israelis in the West Bank, "West of the Jordan River" gives voice to peace-seeking residents on both sides of the conflict.
