During the summer of 2011, armed with a camera and a map, award-winning Canadian filmmaker and photographer Afzal Huda set out to chronicle the Separation Wall in Palestine. His aim was to magnify the ugly face of the Wall and depict the contradictions and hardships endured by human beings living under a military occupation. He was intent on showing the world what it was like to live in an open air prison and how Palestinians have developed ways to cope with the Wall's existence. Afzal spent three weeks doing just that: visiting all the Palestinian areas along the Wall and interviewing people young and old from all walks of life. But instead of the overwhelming reality of misery and suffering he had witnessed with his own eyes, his camera caught images of a contrasting nature: photos of people and faces of compassion, perseverance and hope rarely seen in mainstream media’s usual portrayal of Palestinians. The resulting book—conceived and beautifully designed by Waleed Abu-Ghazaleh—is a powerful photo journal that depicts the humanity of a resilient people. It is divided into four parts, each starting with a short introduction in English, Spanish, German, French, and Chinese followed by brief statistics taken from United Nation sources. It includes: • Images of the Wall as a physical barrier: how it dissects towns and farmland • Images of Palestinians living under its shadow: checkpoints, gates and the resultant poverty • Images of solidarity: support from international artists and visitors as well as local inhabitants • Images of perseverance and hope

She opened her eyes with a start to find Lord Winterton standing in front of her. His horse was drinking from the river and he looked very handsome in his rust coloured riding habit. “Where are you going?” he asked, catching hold of her arm. “I – I must return to the Hall. Mama – “ Lord Winterton stood there, still holding on to her arm. His blue eyes burned into her face and she noticed him lick his lips beneath his clipped moustache. They remained staring into each other’s eyes for a few seconds and then Lord Winterton suddenly pulled her towards him and his urgent mouth was on hers, kissing her in a manner she had never experienced. She felt something inside of her soar before realising what she was doing. “No!” she cried, pulling away – her face red and her head reeling from the kiss. “Let me go!”

On their way back to their Residence they had to pass by the Temple that contained the green Buddha and Amina asked if she could once again go inside. “I am sure that you can,” Lord Templeton said and passed the suggestion on to one of the equerries. A footman opened the door for her and he sat back while she went in. The Buddha was there twinkling in the lights of the candles and she thought that he vibrated towards her even more than he had when she had first visited him. This time he seemed to be trying to send Amina a message of vital interest to her and she bent her head to catch it exactly. It suddenly became clear that the Lord Buddha was telling her that something of great importance was about to happen to her and it was that love was coming into her life and that she must take it gratefully with both hands. She stood for a long time looking up at him and thinking about this startling message and wondering where this great love would come from. Then, feeling that by now Lord Templeton might be annoyed at her being so long, she turned and then went outside the Temple and back to the carriage.
