On land that breathes through fear, among barbed wire, walls and ruins, Medusa with its 6th episode records daily life in the West Bank, where oxygen is filtered through terror and hope is tested every day. A route through the villages and cities of Palestine, from Ramallah to Jenin, but also inside Israeli society which fights to find its balance again after the horror and atrocities of October 7.
The camera does not take a side. It observes. It listens. It follows the gaze of children who walk on cracked roads and the silences of women who lost everything. It records the faces of settlers, the uprooted olive trees, the containers that sprout on hills and the checkpoints that resemble a wound that never closes.
In the lens, the West Bank is not geography – it is a pause. A place where time does not flow but drags. Where loss and hope become synonyms. And where blood has no “side”, because pain weighs the same in both camps.
The scenes from Israel illuminate a society exhausted, deeply traumatized, mourning not only its dead but the very idea of peace itself. The voices of citizens, those asking for an end to the cycle of revenge, rise within silence.
In its new episode, Medusa attempts to capture the human essence of the conflict – beyond slogans, politics or religions. To show that behind the barricades, the flags and the military outposts, there are people who share the same request: to see the sky again without fear.
The new episode is a “dive” into the heart of chaos, but also a reminder that even within darkness, hope can whisper. A documentary for those who believe that peace, however distant it seems, always begins from truth.
