WATERS NARRATES CONTROVERSIAL SHORT FILM

Former PINK FLOYD star ROGER WATERS has narrated a new short film on the plight of Palestinians living in the shadow of Israel's controversial separation barrier.
The film, Walled Horizons, debuted at a United Nations function last week (19Aug09).
The 15-minute film was made in honour of the fifth anniversary of the International Court of Justice's opinion that the barrier's meandering route through the occupied West Bank is illegal.
Roger Waters wants the West Bank security barrier torn down, saying it was built on Palestinian land and is an obstacle to peace.
In an interview on Israel Radio, the rocker says, "What a lot of people don't understand... because of the sketchy news reports... is just how many Israelis are prepared to compromise and make peace with their neighbours... They would accept the resettlement of people who moved into the West Bank."
According to TheRockRadio.com, the film was shot in 2006 when Waters performed in Israel.
