Children of Jerusalem: Yacoub Jan 1, 1992

This is a portrait of 9-year-old Yacoub, a Palestinian who lives in the Christian Quarter of Jerusalem. He studies English and French at school, and enjoys shopping at outdoor markets and helping at his uncle's falafel shop. He'd like to be free to go out and play with his friends without his parents worrying about his safety. As we accompany him in his daily activities, we see how his life is affected by the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.
