director Danny Verete's three tales of Bedouin life in the Judean Desert and the sometimes troubling interractions between the Bedouins, foreigners, and Jews.
These are three seemingly simple--- not simplistic--- stories that convey timeless truths. If you wish to understand the ME, this film should be high on your list.
No easy answers, no proselytizing.
In the middle, and possibly weakest story, a foreign woman married to a tribesman wishes to divorce him and take their two children far away with her. The meeting of the village elders, the issues they consider in reaching their decision, somehow makes more sense than our Western divorce court system.
Follow Ups:
Tin,I watched PN again last night and I disliked it more the second time. Too many unanswered questions.
The guy who made "Time of Favor" (check out AW's film section) and "campfire" is now filming a movie about Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon in 2002/2003.
It is not a positive spin on the IDF, yet the IDF is participating and the film received government funding.
I'll have an advance copy of the DVD when it comes out later in the year.
Having lived in the north, I look forward to seeing it.

"I think this place is restricted Wang, so don't tell em you're Jewish"
painted the suicide bombers' "directors" in a very unfavorable light?
I came away thinking "what a terrible waste."
I also thought the female friend character gave needed perspective, as well as the mother of one of the bombers.
By concentrating on the face of those on the bus, I think the director further proved he wasn't filming a polemic.
