Synopsis

In June 2002 Israel began constructing a 400-mile "security fence" inside the West Bank. In many areas, this fence is not a fence - it's a concrete wall, twice as high as the Berlin Wall. By documenting the people devastated by this construction, and through interviews with Israeli and Palestinian scholars, OBSTACLE reveals how the "need for security" is enabling Israelis to appropriate Palestinian land, vegetation and all their water resources.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 4

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
