ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD| Israel/Palestine| Hebrew & Arabic| 83 min| 2013



Former West Bank settler Lia Tarachansky looks at Israelis’ collective
amnesia of the fateful events of 1948 when the state of Israel was born and
most of the Palestinians became refugees.



She follows the transformation of Israeli veterans trying to uncover their
denial of the war that changed the region forever.



Tarachansky then turns the camera on herself and travels back to her
settlement where that historical erasure gave birth to a new generation,
blind and isolated from its surroundings. Attempting to shed a light on the
country’s biggest taboo, she is met with outrage and violence.
