No Way Through

Despite only 10 minutes in length, the film's impact is harrowing and its meaning disturbingly lucid. It concerns an issue that bothers me a lot: apathy.

Most people don't care about travel restrictions in the West Bank because they aren't affected by it, it doesn't concern them.

The film is genius because it transposes the terrible implications of travel restrictions in the West Bank to London. Something that seems so remote and doesn't affect us is brought to home turf and suddenly it's relevant.

Is apathy all about context? Still trying to figure that one out...

Please watch the film, leave comments.
Thank you

Written and Directed by: Alexandra Monro + Sheila Menon
Mentor: Jim Threapleton
Music: The Thirst

No Way Through highlights mobility restrictions imposed in the West Bank, that are limiting its habitants’ access to health care, thus violating a fundamental human right.
