Many walls separate Palestinians and Israelis—walls of concrete, of mistrust, of ignorance, of fear. This film follows a group of Americans who traveled to Israel and Palestine in 2016 seeking to understand what life is like for Palestinians in the Occupied Territories and in East Jerusalem. They met with Israelis and Palestinians, Jews and Christians and Muslims, each with their own narrative, most wishing to live in peace.

The journey became an intense encounter not only with people they met, but also with their own preconceptions, an experience that for many of the travelers was transformative. Seeing through the Wall invites and challenges viewers to question their own assumptions and prejudices.

"A brilliant, sensitive and even-handed look at an intolerable situation. It can't fail to move audiences wherever it's shown. The interviews are especially well-chosen in that they refrained from the more incendiary language often seen in films about Israel and Palestine. 
Clear, honestly emotional, and yet yearning for some sort of solution, almost all the speakers appeared...human".
