One village in the West Bank receives only a fraction of the water it needs, impacting daily life and community relations.
Synopsis
In Bil'in, a village in the West Bank, broken water pipelines shape daily life. Residents navigate their uncertain futures under Israel's control of water resources, which limits supply and affects every aspect of existence. The introduction of modern water infrastructure was seen by some as progress, while others viewed it as a source of bitterness. Villagers face the challenge of returning to ancient rainwater collection techniques, seeking independence amid strained community relations. Co-directed by Alexandre Goetschmann and Guy Davidi, the film won the "David Silver Camera" Award at the Warsaw Jewish Film Festival.
