Documentary hunting

Hey kids.
So I'm taking over a dying history club at SPU and trying to turn it into some kind of history/poli sci/current event discussion cadre. In order to get some more students involved, I want to put on some kind of event this spring where we maybe show some kind of short documentary, bring in a prof or two to respond, and have some discussion.
I was thinking it would be nice to find a quality documentary (pref. a balanced documentary..but i know that doesn't always fit with the purpose of the genre) on the West Bank, since that ties in both poli. sci. and history. But, hey, i'm open to suggestions.
So even if it doesn't have to do with the Middle East, has anyone seen a (preferably short) quality documentary that you could recommend?
Thanks!
Alissa

this may not be exactly what you're looking for, but there is an MCC documentary about the effects of the wall on the lives of Palestinians. It's pretty short, actually really short, I think just like a half-hour long, and you can borrow it from them for free.
