This Is My Village (2019)

The Palestinian village of Wadi Fukin is located in the West Bank west of Bethlehem along the green line, and is surrounded on three sides by the Israeli colony of Beitar and the Israeli town of Tzur Hadasa. In 1948 the Israeli army destroyed the village and forced residents to move. In 1972, residents were allowed to return to the village and build their home within a month. Legend has it that the village was rebuilt in one night. Today the inhabitants depend almost entirely on agriculture for their livelihood and struggle daily to access their lands. But the danger is looming and the village could disappear again at any time.
