Thousands of Palestinian workers line up every day, before dawn, to pass through checkpoint 300, located in Bethlehem.
For many this means getting up and out of the house in the middle of the night to get to work on time. The Israeli military checkpoint 300 is the main crossing point for Palestinians throughout the southern West Bank working in Jerusalem and in other cities beyond the Green Line.

Produced by Activestills, a collective of Israeli, Palestinian and international photographers united by the conviction that photography is a vehicle for political and social change.
Checkpoint 300, writes Activestills, was part of a larger project that documented several "workers' checkpoints" throughout the the West Bank.

During 2016-2017, the Activestills team collected materials and interviews from five checkpoints: Bethlehem (Checkpoint 300), Qalqilya (Eyal Checkpoint), Tulkarem (AtTaybeh Checkpoint), Tarkumia checkpoint (Hebron area), Qalandia checkpoint (Ramallah area) with the aim of showing how checkpoints are not a border control between two sovereign countries, but rather means of control
on the Palestinian population.
