SYNOPSIS

Czech Photographer Josef Koudelka grew up behind the Iron Curtain and always wanted to know “what
was on the other side”. Forty years after capturing the iconic images of the Soviet invasion of Prague in
1968, the legendary Magnum photographer arrives in Israel and Palestine. On first seeing the
nine-meter-high wall built by Israel in the West Bank, Koudelka is deeply shaken and embarks on a
four-year project in the region which will confront him once again with the harsh reality of violence and
conflict.
