Explaining the Law to Kwame

Synopsis

In this monologue a legal theorist sets out to tackle the ways in which the Israeli military law in the occupied territories tackles the problems of circumscribing, defining, judging and punishing Palestinian children. The approach she tries is to imagine a listener removed in time and space. Her speech, however, lapses into musings on aging, illness and sexuality. A different cut of the monologue will be a part of a longer film entitled Kafka for Kids, but it can be experienced as an autonomous work.
