One Street in Silwan

One Street in Silwan

One Street in Silwan tells the story of “Batan al-Hawa” Street (East Jerusalem), which overlooks the Temple Mount and serves as a microcosm of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. On one side of the street, live Israeli settlers in a house that once belonged to an evicted Palestinian family. On the other side, a Palestinian family faces eviction, alongside 750 of the neighborhood’s residents. The eviction is due to the plan of establishing more settlements. Told in segments through the perspectives of children and residents, the film sheds light on the chaotic realities of life on that street.
