Millions of American Christians are unaware of the plight of the city of Bethlehem and its Palestinian inhabitants in the West Bank of Palestine. The Israeli built separation wall snakes its way around Bethlehem, even cutting off Palestinians from their own land and nearby Jerusalem. This story is courageously told by Palestinian filmmaker, Leila Sansour in her Open, Bethlehem documentary that is part of a campaign to educate her fellow Christians and the world about the stranglehold by Israel that is slowly causing Palestinian Christians to leave the Holy Land because of the hardships imposed by the military occupation.



The Israeli Separation wall in Bethlehem snakes around three sides of the home of a Palestinian Christian family, the Anastas. If more American Christians knew what is happening to the birth place of their Savior, Jesus, they would pray and work for an equitable solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict.
