Valley of Hope and Despair Director's Cut - Trailer

Wadi Fukin is a valley inside the Palestinian Occupied Territories. UNESCO designated the valley as the best preserved natural heritage site of its kind in the West Bank. But the valley is threatened by the expansion of illegal Israeli settlements and the Israeli separation wall. The wells in the valley have dried up and the valley is contaminated with raw sewage. Villagers from the valley have worked together with their neighbours from Israeli village Tsur Hadassah to campaign against the planned construction of the wall and continuous expansion of settlement. They are saving their shared valley together. This unique friendship gives hope for peace in times of despair. Our film follows the struggle and success of the people of Wadi Fukin and Tsur Hadassah. A short version of the film was broadcast in November 2010 on Al Jazeera English Channel. In September 2011 we will organise a community screening tour with the longer directors cut version of the film.
