What is left for Palestinian farmers who learn that in 24-hours, the Israeli Army will confiscate their lands for the construction of "the West Bank Barrier"? Unexpectedly filled with moments of poetry and humour, Palestine Blues tells the story of a village's confusion and desperation, their daily victories and wrenching defeats. This award-winning documentary was shot over 6 months and focuses on the farming village of Jayyous, bearing witness to the destruction of many of its homes, ancient olive groves and farmland, destroyed by Israeli bulldozers and weaponry in its inexorable charge to raise the "security" wall across Palestine.
