What is Checkpoints about?
Checkpoints is a portrait of a young Israeli woman, the daughter of first-generation immigrants, who grew up in a poor neighbourhood and decides to complete her army service in the Tulkarm checkpoints in order to qualify for the bonus release grant - with which she could both support her parents and fulfil her boyfriend’s dream of starting a new life in Miami. But somehow, against all odds, it is in the hellish reality of the West Bank checkpoints that she is exposed to an alternate life, and begins to follow her own dreams. It blends drama elements. The film reflects a distinct Israel style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Rita Borodiyanski.
