'It is good that the cover of this Warner Classics DVD, so
   compelling, so full of hope and yet so tragic, should feature
   a young man with cello on his back contemplating a section of
   the Israeli Apartheid Wall, symbol of desperation and political
   intransigence. Later in the film Barenboim views it from an
   eminence and asks which is the Israeli side.  Both sides, he
   is told, are Palestinian. It is equally good to watch youthful
   Palestinians at their favourite pastime, that of football on any
   dust-covered scrap of land, carefree despite the hideous oppression
   inflicted on their daily lives.'
