Synopsis
Area K is an Israeli controlled military marine zone isolating the Gaza strip and preventing Palestinian fishermen from entering Israel, Egypt and international waters. Here, we follow a business partnership between a clan of Palestinian fisherman from refugee camps in Gaza and Israelis from the settlement of Dugit, Gaza strip. In the partnership, Israeli settlers arrange permits from the Israeli Military, allowing Palestinians to work from the Area K beach. Starting in April 1999 when peace was still at the top of the agenda and finishing March 2001 in month seven of the bloody Al Aqsa Intifada, we watch as Arabs and Jews struggle together to make a living from the sea in the midst of territorial bloodshed.
