A Palestinian film crew is stopped as they take a shortcut to bypass an Israeli checkpoint. The Gaza Strip is a forbidden area for the Palestinian-American filmmaker and the Palestinian-Israeli sound engineer. It makes 'Like Twenty Impossibles' (2003) a film about the difficulties for Palestinians of other nationalities to gain access to the area where their origin lies. I do have a soft spot for the naturalistic approach of suggesting that a film crew is actually stopped there at a border control. Unfortunately, this distant setup never really makes you bond with the characters. They even seem a bit annoying and pushy. It doesn't help that 'Like Twenty Impossibles' (2003) ultimately degenerates into avant-garde film academy pretensions. It means a lot but emotionally it has little effect.
