Wild Thorns

In 1972 the West Bank has been under Israeli occupation for 5 years. A son returns home with the intention to help liberate his country. Yet what he encounters are family and friends, who have learned to live under the occupation out of necessity. Their only option for making a living is to work in factories in Israel. Which is seen as a great shame to the youth, who idolizes imprisoned freedom fighters.

A portrait of the struggles of conscience and survival, for a nation under occupation. Written nearly 5 decades ago. While, almost nothing has changed since then.
