1. Fifty Miles Wide
Cycling Through Israel and Palestine
A travelogue of a cycling journey across Israel and the Palestinian territories, it weaves road-level encounters with soldiers, settlers, activists, and families into a meditation on land, borders, and memory. Moving from coastal plains and hill towns to desert wadis, it observes checkpoints, the separation barrier, and everyday routines, finding warmth and weariness in equal measure. The result is a humane, unflinching portrait of a place where grief and resilience persist side by side, and where small acts of hospitality hint at the possibility of a different future.
