<br>
</font><font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">"The signing of the
Oslo Peace Accord in 1993 sparked worldwide hope for
a resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Checkpoint takes a
critical look at this peace agreement and its aftermath. <br>
<br>
Tom Wright and Therese Saliba lived in the West Bank from 1995 to 1996
and chronicled these events as they unfolded. Checkpoint portrays a
side of the story little known to American audiences: the devastating
effects of the agreement on Palestinian lives. With an engaging style
and offbeat humor, the documentary exposes shallow mass-media
interpretations of the conflict and reveals the immense imbalance of
power between the two sides. <br>
<br>
Palestinian and Israeli human rights activists, as well as political
figures like Hanan Ashrawi, give their views of the major events of the
period: Rabin's assassination, the Palestinian Authority takeover of
West Bank towns, the first Palestinian elections, the suicide bus
bombings, Arafat's abuse of power, Netanyahu's election, and the
September 1996 uprising."<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Checkpoint</b>
takes its title from the innumerable Israeli roadblocks, which
ironically have become a permanent feature in the new era of
Palestinian "autonomy." In the post-Oslo era, the checkpoint becomes
the symbol of Israeli control and domination. In the face of these
obstacles, Israelis and Palestinians seek to grapple with these grave
injustices and to set forth an alternative vision for a just peace. <br>
