Review "A Masterful Documentary" -- Chicago Tribune, January 7, 2005 "Four Stars, A Must-See" -- Chicago Sun Times, January 7, 2005 "Four Stars, A must-see" -- Chicago Sun Times, January 7, 2005 "Gripping...undeniably riveting cinema!" -- The San Francisco Bay Guardian, December 8, 2004 "Three Stars...powerful...a searing indictment of the occupation and its dehumanizing effect on both sides...Recommended." -- Video Librarian, March-April 2005 Recommended. -- Booklist June 2005 Product Description Over three million Palestinians live in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which has been under Israeli military authority since 1967. Israeli director Yoav Shamir documents the impact of the enforced boundaries known as "checkpoints" on the Israeli border guards drafted to monitor them and the Palestinian citizens who must pass through them daily. Shot in a cinema verite style, a style of documentary filmmaking that stresses unbiased realism, the film shows these anonymous, one-time encounters between both sides and the lasting political, social and cultural effects. CHECKPOINT gives a chilling look at the destructive impact on both societies.
