Synopsis
A deep cinema investigation into the death of a young unknown girl, made with a rigour normally reserved for first-rate historical characters. It gives a voice to all the people involved in Rachel’s story, a young American peace activist who was killed in the Gaza Strip, crushed by an Israeli bulldozer while she was trying to prevent the destruction of a Palestinian house. Five years after her death, director Simone Bitton is somehow doing what a court should have done.
