My Neighbourhood
Mohammed El Kurd is a Palestinian boy growing up in the neighbourhood of Sheikh Jarrah in the heart of East Jerusalem.
Forced to give up part of their home to Israeli settlers who are leading a campaign of court-sanctioned evictions to guarantee Jewish control of the area, Mohammed's family and other residents begin peacefully protesting against the evictions, determined not to lose their homes. In a surprising turn, they are quickly joined by scores of Israeli supporters who are horrified to see what is being done in their name.Country: Israel
