  1. THE INVISIBLE POLICEMAN
  1. 2011, Laith Al-Juneidi,
  2. Palestine/Netherlands/UAE, 59 min.

The divisions and conflicts of the West Bank city Hebron are reflected in the sharp rift between the public and private life of Abu Sa’eed, a lieutenant in the Palestinian National Authority Police Department. In uniform, he’s an authority figure and protector; out of uniform, he’s just another disempowered Palestinian man helpless to protect his large family from daily indignities and abuses. This compassionate portrait looks for hope amid the harsh realities of a caring father’s predicament. In Arabic with English subtitles. DigiBeta video.
