Offside

Daniel Sivan - Dorit Tadir 2006 fiction 12 min.

Ishaq, a 13 year old Palestinian boy wants to play soccer with his friends.
What seems natural to any boy this age is no easy task for Ishaq. Ishaq
lives in a closed military zone which was created after the wall was built
around his house and created an enclave in which his home is disconnected
from both Palestine and Israel. Ishaq must get to a soccer game! His
friends are waiting for him! But it is not that simple.... Is he going to
make it on time? Offside reflects the banal but nonetheless oppressive
nature of aspects of the Israeli occupation through a personal human tale.
