Review of The Inner Tour (2001) by Walter M — 07 Mar 2006

[font=Century Gothic]"The Inner Tour" is a fascinating documentary about what sounds like a common subject - a guided tour. What sets this movie apart is that it is about a group of Palestinians(ages ranging from children to elderly, some of whom live in refugee camps) touring Israel.(This is one of the only ways Palestinians are allowed into Israel proper.) So, we see the country through their eyes and learn about the struggles they have faced over the years. The best parts of the film were when Israelis and Palestinians conversed with each other.[/font].

[font=Century Gothic]The movie also serves as an insightful look into Israel - both its history and people, while showcasing certain parts of the country I had not seen on film before. And I especially liked the section about the kibbutz. [/font].
