<p class="MsoNormal">"A look at the psychological impact of the
occupation in the West Bank, but there's a lot of layers to it. In the
literal sense, its looking at how society is divided with tangible
things like the wall, checkpoints and roadblocks, but it’s also looking
at individual people and saying that the same things happening in
society as a whole are happening inside individuals. The documentary
really focuses on children. Adults fit in to the extent that they
discuss children's experiences." - Dylan Bergeson, filmmaker<br>
<br>
The world is complex; this is what makes art possible, not to mention
life itself, and it's why education never ends. But an institution like
the State or the military can't afford to acknowledge this; its
actions, like all acts of violence, must be based on brutal, simple
premises. Such is the reality of war, and such is the reality of
Occupation, which is war institutionalized. <br>
<br>
Dylan Bergeson's debut documentary <i>This Body is a Prison</i>, shot
on video over four months, captures the reality of Palestinians' lives
under Israeli occupation. In one short hour, it manages to convey
existence in a world where complexity is denied by violence, where
everyday life is a struggle, and yet, through that struggle, art and
education persist. <br>
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is an achievement for any filmmaker to make a
film as powerful as Bergeson has, let alone a first-time filmmaker. The
film manages to make a statement, but is not overly pedantic; it
captures a situation's complexity but is far from myopic.<br>

<i>"We’ve had 50 years of assault on Palestinian rights. They’re the
most terrorized people on earth and have been for so many years.
Practically every Palestinian lives in constant harassment, threat of
violence, humiliation. It’s been that way for a long, long time</i>". ~
