Since the occupation and illegal annexation of East Jerusalem in 1967,Israel has implemented a series of apartheid measures in order to preserve a Jewish majority in Jerusalem. With the construction of the Separation Wall, Israel is now cutting Jerusalem off completely from the surrounding Palestinian cities and villages.

A team from the Alternative information Center (AIC) met with residents of East Jerusalem and the surrounding Palestinian areas to film the realities of the Israeli apartheid system. This film captures the courage of Jerusalem residents and Palestinian and Israeli activists as they engage in the daily struggle for the basic human rights of Palestinians in Jerusalem.

The film was made from July to August 2003.
