Although they may have had little in common in life, Fahmi Abou Ammouneh and David Biri are linked in death: they both died at the Netzarim Junction in the Gaza Strip, the first Palestinian and Israeli victims of the second Intifada in late September 2000. This powerful and moving documentary focuses on one spot at a specific moment and follows the ripple effects the deaths of these two young men had on their families and communities.
