[⏵] DOCUMENTARY When local politics dictate world events– and vice versa: welcome to Ramallah! Musa Hadid shares similar worries to millions of his counterparts: how to solve sewage problems and what colours the Christmas tree decorations should be. Questions that exercise the minds of local politicians the world over. But when you’re mayor of Ramallah, such worries have the potential to lead to an escalation on the world stage. David Osit portrays a politician in close-up who would love to be a pragmatician, but is caught in an ideologized conflict between superpowers.
