West Bank Drama – 200 Meters
A couple hundred meters is not far, but in 200 Meters the Israeli border wall makes the distance much greater.
With Palestine on one side and Israel on the other, crossing from one side to the other is not always easy or even possible.
When a father is on one side and the wife and children he loves are on the other, daily life is challenging.
Like parents everywhere, this father is ready to do whatever it takes for his child.
The drama is compelling and will touch your heart.

Synopsis
Mustafa, a Palestinian construction worker, lives in a West Bank home a mere 200 meters away from his wife and children, on the other side of the Israeli border wall.
Though eligible for an Israeli ID, Mustafa sacrifices living with his family in resistance to what he believes are unjust laws enforced by the occupying Israeli government, so he instead uses his work permit to visit daily.
The arrangement is functional, until one day Mustafa gets a call every parent dreads: his son has been seriously injured and brought to an Israeli hospital.
Rushing to cross the border checkpoint, Mustafa is denied on a technicality.
Stopping at nothing to reach his child, a 200 meter distance becomes a 200 kilometer odyssey, as the increasingly desperate Mustafa attempts to smuggle himself to the other side of the wall.
