Dreams Deferred highlights the voices, opinions, and actions of Israelis and Palestinians who are struggling to nonviolently end the Israeli occupation and achieve a just resolution to the conflict. By dodging Israeli soldiers and Border Police, this film also gives audiences a first-hand tour of the West Bank, illustrating elements of the occupation that make Palestinian life there increasingly difficult, with revealing footage and discussion of checkpoints, curfews, land confiscation, settlements, the separation barrier, and other details of Palestinian life in various parts of the West Bank. By exposing viewers to seldom-heard voices of nonviolent resistance, this film goes beyond the headlines to offer a unique and valuable perspective on a complex situation.
