How much would you risk for your religious convictions? Documentarian Ruth Walk follows several Israeli women whose fervor far exceeds their fear of danger. Inhabiting a heavily Arab-populated community in the West Bank, they face enough threats of violence on a daily basis to require Israeli soldiers to serve as escorts in public places. Convinced they have divine authorization to occupy the land, the women live among crowds of enemies who are likewise adamant the land belongs to them.

Dave Kehr New York Times The freer and more sophisticated approach of 'Divine Intervention' makes these traditional-minded documentaries look somewhat stodgy and old-fashioned by comparison, but both have a value as reportage that Mr. Suleiman's film does not pretend to have. Rated: 3/5 Jan 24, 2003 Full Review Leslie Katz culturevulture.net [The settlers'] combination of strident religious conviction and obliviousness to social and political intricacies is chilling.
