Shooting Muhammad

Luca Cusani, Francesco Cannito | 2009 | Italia | 52’

For 21-year-old Muhammad, being a Palestinian in an Israeli university means checkpoint after checkpoint – and never far away, the endless wall. It means no friends, no drinks after lessons and the constant threat of violence. That seems tough enough but the very act of going to university on an Israeli settlement divides him against himself. Muhammad’s challenging life spills out in this fast and vibrant narrative. Can he overcome the odds to find fame, fortune or will it just end in another wall?
