Checkpoint Covent Garden: The Video + No Way Through

Leave a comment

Video of action held in Covent Garden on 25th February 2012 calling for the reopening of Shuhada Street in Al-Khalil (Hebron).

Imagine if London was controlled by the military and you had to go through specific checkpoints to go to school, go to work, visit your friends or go to the hospital.

This award-winning seven minute video, from an April 2011 post, brings the shocking reality of Palestinian life in the West Bank uncomfortably close to home.
