Operation Bethlehem background

Operation Bethlehem

A poignant portrayal of Bethlehem's breathtaking landscapes and unbroken spirit in the face of prolonged occupation.

Film director Leila Sansour returns to her hometown of Bethlehem to make a film about the city, which is soon to be encircled by a wall. She had left the city as a teenager, but is now making an exception to create a tribute to her late father, a hero to the town's folk. As she films, she and her cousin Carol start a campaign to save the city from ruin, and Leila finds herself trapped behind a wall, realizing that sometimes the biggest dreams take flight from the smallest places.
