Najwa, Nawal, and Siham, three Palestinian widows, live with their 11 children in a house on Shudada Street in Hebron. Their home is caught between two cultures; the facade is under Israeli occupation and the Palestinian Authority controls the back. At the entrance is an Israeli military post, and on the roof the Israelis have a machine-gun look out. While Israeli soldiers take up their daily post on the roof, the women hang their laundry, gossip, and clean up the soldiers' litter. The absurdity of their situation is almost unfathomable. This bold and well-crafted documentary by two Israeli women provides a unique window into the lives of Palestinian women living under occupation.
