Episode 104 - Wall (2017)
from Cartoon Night in Canada Hosted by Chris Luciantonio
Prompted by the ongoing genocidal campaigns effecting the people of Palestine, Chris and Sylvie decided to tackle an animated documentary from 2017 that endeavored to portray the Israel-West Bank Barrier in a nuanced perspective based on an outsider's perspective. It failed. Miserably. While visually it stuns through a masterful mixing of animation techniques by Alberta based filmmaker Cam Christiansen, as an adaptation of a self-serving, close-minded monologue written by British playwright David Hare back in 2009, its biases and outdated views are apparent and frustrating. Wall (2017). Directed by Cam Christiansen.
