one of the best UK short films of the year, in my humble opinion... the film managed to shift the exact feeling of ordinary Palestinians on Israeli checkpoints around the west Bank, reflecting that the pain is unified, and the injustices also has the same source, what ever face it has..
A must to see...

this really reflexes whats the situation in palestine.. and its very sad very touching.. thanks for everyone who helped make this short film an excellent one..

thank you so much.

it's absolutely heart warming to realize that some people actually realize what my brothers and sisters go through (or not) back home. it's brilliant.

Brilliant work. Lovely concept, well shot and edited. Keeps up the sense of disbelief/mystery through the metaphor really well.

Just got back from two weeks shooting (video!) in east Jerusalem, so the story hits home even harder.

Wanna see more.

When did Israeli Hospital become Palestinian Hospital? Propaganda as usual. Common Sense is thrown out the window replaced by feelings?! If you don't prioritize health by not building hospital, you don't have the right to expect free healthcare.

Powerful, succinct, emotive and excellently shot!

Exceptional delivery of message

Outstanding work. Reminded me of when I was first shown the wall being built by the Israelis; to keep the Palestinians out. Then, it was impossible for me not to draw parallels with the rise of national socialism in Germany. This work induced the same revulsion I felt; when a rather too proud Israeli was giving me a guided tour of that awful wall and bragging about a final solution to the "Palestinian problem".

Incredible, a very deserving winner

very powerful.

Woah! I had a nightmare alot like this the other night.... very sad problem... but excellent video! I liked the cinematography!

Good Stuff

What did you shoot it on..?

Just Wuaw. This is one of this films that you keep in your mind for a long time and you can´t stop to recommend to all your friends. Really excellent work.

Really moving.
So impressive!
Thank you for charing!

Spectacular performance, I've been hit by a car recently and I must say it has to have the worst impact on you if you can't get to the damn hospital because of soldiers. 10/10

Absolutely f*cking awesome. Totally floored me! Well done everyone!

Amazing! What camera, adapter, lens, did you use? :)

Thanks for all your comments! If you like this, check out the other 4 films we made, including War School: vimeo.com/6946941

i was a medic in the isreal army. in my base i helped and evacuate meny Palestinian in an ambulance to a isreal hospital, meny times if the injury was slightly dangerous we called out an army helicopter for quick evacuation. we helped them the same as we helped any other person, no matter what race. this is just another propaganda, only in a nice suit.

great job, very powerfull!

Thank you for the message! I didn't know... T_T

Great work, very impressing, powefull and emotive.

awesome job...!!!!

This is one of the more powerful videos I've seen in a while... It makes you frustrated and angry...

absolutely brilliant

WOW... very emotional, scary and sad. Well done, very well deserved!

wow, impressive, great concept, perfectly timed
can't really comment about the message as I don't know what the situation really is (I'll gather information, I promise)

I just have to say thanks for giving us the realism that my country denies to see...I´m from México...By the way, wouldn´t you like that No Way Through be one of the shorts showns in PLANOINVERSO?...PLANOINVERSO is a TV program (show) about documentary, shortfilms and others visual arts....non commercial but cultural and educational chanel...the speace is your...

To those who think that this is propaganda or that this depicts access to Israeli hospitals where Palestinians should not be anyway.
Having worked and lived in the Middle East, specifically working on ambulance related issues, I must say that this accurately depicts the troubles Palestinians face obtaining healthcare in Palestinian medical facilities throughout the West Bank as well as East Jerusalem, not Israeli medical facilities; which is a whole other issue. People often have to resort to using their own vehicles for transport of ill and injured, because ambulance response is delayed, as they have to go through the checkpoints, or take lengthy alternate routes, both on the way to the patient as well as when taking them to the hospital.
To the gentleman who said that he was a medic in the IDF, I would agree that there are a number like himself, who do provide care based on the humanitarian need rather than race, he and those like him should be commended. There are also Palestinian ambulance services who provide care to the settlers involved in motor vehicle collisions along the roads in the West Bank, for the same humanitarian reasons. The majority of Palestinians and Israelis want peace, and could probably have reached it, if it were not for the few in each culture who control the politics.

great movie. thanks for sharing.

From the moment I saw the woman wearing a keffiay I instantly knew we were in for a propaganda ride.

The hard, cold fact of the matter is that checkpoints have been instituted for one reason and one reason only.... to prevent suicide bombers and other terrorists from entering Israel to slaughter innocent men, women and children. Period.

And you know what, it's worked.

There is only one side to blame for the checkpoints and that is the Palestinians!!!! If both Hamas & Fatah would spend their resources and energy educating their populations to live in Peace with the Israelis - rather than rasing a generation of aspiring martyrs, we wouldn't be in the mess we're in today.

See it in their own words at pmw.org.il

This film is being shown at University College London this Thursday (26th November) as one of four short films, focusing on Human Rights. It is going to be followed by a discussion on Gaza with points from both sides

Its a free screening so visit wethepeoples.org.uk for more information and bring your friends along!

That was super dope! big props on the meaning at the end

Projects like this one are what we need here in the middle-east to get to humans who think we are terrorists or whatever..thank you guys for taking the initiative...i guess we will be producing similar work when our stupid leaders leave us in peace and stop refraining us from being creative by busting our economic situations..well, and when israel decides to act rationally, because really, what they are doing is far from rationality....its the biggest insult to human rights !

Thank you again. much appreciated

this is one of the most heart-touching shorts I'v ever seen...

Put together well... However propaganda and you're indeed only seeing one side of the story. Of course the Palestine's will twist their story into making you feel sorry for them... Maybe people should read up on their history before they go getting all "warm and fuzzy". Yeah, maybe they do need projects like this in the middle east... So we see more people rise up to just get killed. How about, they stop causing a ruckus and start building their own damn hospitals. Again ... Nice video!

Amazing! if only everyone could the injustices that go on in our world!

Great message! Unbelievably true.

this is cheap corrupt propaganda video playing on pure sentimental judgement. what's the best way to get some attention for a young "talented" director/artist/writer ? right ! get up and speak frightlessly about the Israeli oppression and insult to human rights of Palestinian people! THE WORLD MUST KNOW !
come on, I'm so tired of this bullshit. Come and be a doctor in a Palestinian village if you want to change the world. may be you'll get the more realistic picture of what's happenning here. don't forget that Israel and Palestinians are in state of war, even if it may be called Low Intensity Conflict or whatever. Israel is making an enormous effort to ensure the normal life of the civilians in the Right bank - much more than any other country would do in this situation. I'm spending a few weeks a year at these checkposts - and I've never witnessed a person in need of urgent medical assistance ambulance being withheld at a checkpost.
and ! we are way more charming than these young soldiers in the video :)

thanks for excellent moive

what a great movie...thx for sharing it...a beautiful movie about a very sensitive topic....

continuously sent shivers down my spine..
amazing work, but so awful.

Spectacular film work, acting was right there, great writing.
It is always disturbing to see human suffering, especially due to existing military action by any government or violent faction on either side of the border.

Exceptional tale to bring light to an issue that I have never heard about till now. Bravo!

Loved The Movie Realy It Did Not Just Reflict On Phlistens Are Israls This Movie For Exampel
Unknowldge Pepol : That Dont Know Nothing Bout Isral Are Phlisten Avusley Judgeing By There Commints Read More I Wuild Like Seeing Them In The Btool Filed

And The Ones Whow Give There Hole Brines To Knowldge And Respact The Fact The Isral Hasnt Tock Over Phlisten I Dont See There Name In That Land.

Maybe if the Palestinians would stop lobbing missiles into Israel to kill innocent civilians, there wouldn't be a need for so many checkpoints. Just a thought.

This film is pure propaganda and nothing else.

However, it might be a hint of the future of health care in America once Obama's Health Care bill is fully in place -- especially the part about not being able to get an ambulance, or not being able to gain access to hospital services. Triage, you know. Gotta keep costs under control.

Nice film production, tho. I love good propaganda films.

VERY good.

OH my... I couldn't even swallow my saliva. This film just spoke the truth.

A very thoughtful film.

Well Done.

Well done ....:)

Great job and highly effective. It provided so much insight into a very real subject matter while telling an intriguing story. You can't ask much more from a film.

Beautiful movie. Deserved to the winner.
Pain and suffering not to be distinguished by religion or racism. Everyone should have same rights.
