CGiii Comment

It completely loses its way through the badly-lit indulgence...

Wrist-slitting would be a far more enjoyable way to spend time...seriously, film-making is not for you.

The(ir) Blurb...

The gay community in Jerusalem is a Jewish-Palestinian community struggling for the basic right to exist. As the life of gays, lesbians and transgenders in Tel-aviv becomes more open and free, the community in Jerusalem faces many obstacles and threats and constantly lives in fear. Various religious groups oppose the mere presence of gay people in the holy city and argue that homosexuality is an illness that should be eradicated. Before each pride parade the there are huge and violent protests held by religious organizations to prevent the parade from taking place. The city is covered with anti-gay propaganda posters claiming that homosexuality is a sin and encouraging the public to act against the gay community in whatever means they see fit. In the 2005 Jerusalem pride parade, three people where stabbed by an Ultra-Orthodox religious Jew who charged at the marchers with a knife.
