Sad, tense, but also often funny examination of Palestinian/Israeli relations, all told by interviews in a passenger van that serves as a cab service in Palestine.
This was embraced when it was first released, then later attacked by some critics because it's not a 'true' documentary, and some incidents are staged.
But that didn't seem like a problem to me, because it often seems openly more like docu-drama then pure documentary. I certainly didn't feel misled.
I did feel entertained, informed and touched, even if I wasn't quite as moved as by the very best films on this subject, and a few of the arguments started to repeat themselves.
Certainly worth seeking out if you're interested in the subject matter. While not available on DVD, it has run on occasion on the Sundance Channel.
