FENCED IN — OR OUT
Two Israeli documentaries being screened on a double bill — both making their United States premieres — examine life on the Israeli-Palestinian divide from two very different perspectives. Ruth Walk’s “The Settlers” (2002) looks at the lives and opinions of Orthodox women and children living in the West Bank city of Hebron. Ram Loevy’s “Close, Closed, Closure” (2002) examines a Palestinian family living in the Gaza Strip.
