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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00075K82I\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: GBV.B00075K82I.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Shamir, Yoav\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Dvd\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Ex library book with stickers and stamps.  \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Good Books Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56039581057329,"sku":"GBV.B00075K82I.G","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/3730\/2065\/files\/B00075K82I-0.jpg?v=1788125465","url":"https:\/\/goodbookscompany.org\/products\/checkpoint","provider":"Good Books Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
