About the Film
By Balasan Initiative for Human Resources
For 77 years, Palestinian women have carried a double burden of violence, as the oppressive occupation domination intersects with patriarchal control to turn their bodies into contested sites of power, punishment, and resistance. Each day, thousands of Palestinian women cross Israeli military checkpoints on their way to home, work, education, or healthcare, yet this daily necessity becomes an encounter with abuse, humiliation, surveillance, and bodily intrusion. The female body, under occupation, is transformed into a terrain where control over movement mirrors control over land, society, and sovereignty.
