City of Borders is a 2009 documentary film by Korean-American director Yun Suh that captures the lives of several patrons who frequented the only gay bar in Jerusalem at the time named Shushan.
The film stars primarily Sa'ar Netanel, Boody, Samira Saraya, Ravit Geva, and Adam Russo,[1] whose stories reflect the contemporary resistant attitude towards the LGBT community in Jerusalem.
Since then, he has become a spokesperson for the gay pride parade, joining others in making the much-resisted celebration of their sexuality happen every year The writer, producer, and director of this film, Yun Suh, became interested in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict thanks to her own experiences back in her homeland South Korea.
She claims that she identifies with both sides of the war because like Israelis, she was frightened throughout her childhood that North Korea would invade her village; and like Palestinians, she understands their anger as a result of the Japanese occupation.
The concept of City of Borders first sprouted when Yun Suh visited Jerusalem doing a series of radio reports, where she learned about the existence of Shushan.
[5] But the production of the film did not take shape until 2006, when Suh visited Jerusalem again and contacted Sa'ar upon seeing his number being written on many walls in the city, accusing him of being the man responsible for earthquakes and plagues.
