The demolished house that is the site of the death of American peace activist Rachel Corrie is only the first of the troubling markers in the landscape charted by Palestine Blues as the director travels the route of the infamous security wall. A bereft farmer grieves for his ancient orchard as the bulldozers lay it to waste, but a new movement in nonviolent resistance grows in its place.
Focusing on the village of Jayyous (close to Qalqilia) and its nonviolent campaign against the wall, the film documents the heroic victories and tragic defeats of this farming community’s fight for survival.
