Area K (Area k - a political fishing documentary)

Area K is an Israeli controlled military marine zone isolating the Gaza strip and preventing Palestinian fishermen from entering Israel, Egypt and international waters. This documentary follows a business partnership between a clan of Palestinian fisherman from refugee camps of Gaza and their Israeli counterparts living in the settlement of Dugit, Gaza strip. It is a story about Arabs and Jews, who are struggling together to catch fish in the midst of the painful, historical, racial and territorial Middle East bloodshed. Through the eyes of the sea, Area K is a story of peace dynamics of what could have been and what so nearly was. The Sea knows no laws, no governments, no rights and no wrongs. The spirit of God moves upon it and all men are reduced to equals by it. The film demonstrates the political complexities of the region as experienced through the daily life of fishermen and their relationship with nature.
