The Wanted 18

A quirky film with amusing use of animations and relatable real life characters telling the unknown story of life in a Christian town on the occupied West Bank during the First Intifada. A cunning plan is hatched to enable the boycott of Israeli products, just one element in a programme of social welfare and community actions designed to enable self-sufficiency and resilience in the face of an overbearing occupation presence that determined that the cows were 'a threat to national security'. The story is recounted by those involved with humour and good grace, and you sigh wistfully at the end with regret for what could have been.
