Synopsis
Surda, a checkpoint on the road between Surda and Ramallah, became a significant barrier for over 60,000 residents of 35 villages after its establishment by the Israeli army in March 2001. The film documents the checkpoint's evolution from a simple mound of earth to a complex series of cement barriers, culminating in its removal in July 2003. Through observational footage and minimal captions, the film captures the daily disruptions faced by commuters traveling to Ramallah and Birzeit University.
