Palestinians Don't Need Sidewalks

About This Movie

So, 'Palestinians Don't Need Sidewalks' takes you deep into the heart of the occupied territories, you know? Jill Pauline Hickson really captures the grit and resilience of daily life in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. The pacing is quite deliberate, allowing you to absorb the tension and atmosphere, particularly under Israeli aggression. It's raw, not overly polished, but that’s what gives it its power. The interviews feel so genuine, and you can tell the subjects are opening up about their realities. There's a strong theme of complicity—especially Australia's role—you can almost feel the weight of the narrative. The visuals are stark, almost haunting, and the practical effects of the environment around them play a huge part in the storytelling. Definitely stands out in the documentary landscape.

Raw and immersive documentary style.Strong focus on personal stories.Explores themes of complicity and media bias.
