Publisher's Synopsis
On February 16, 2012, an accident occurred involving a school bus that was transporting a group of children on a field trip. A tragic event. But the place where it happened added a Kafkaesque dimension to the tragedy, an unbearable degree of unreason. The accident occurred on a road near Jerusalem and the children traveling on the bus were Palestinians. One of them, five years old, was called Milad Salama. His father, Abed Salama, is the protagonist of this forceful and moving report. Alerted to what had happened, he quickly went to the scene of the accident and began searching for information about his son. However, being Palestinian in that part of the world means being subject to the controls of the Israeli army, to bureaucratic procedures and obstacles, to no right to receive accurate and prompt information.
