Co-directed by Roopa Gogineni and Trevor Snapp, The Wall is a short documentary film that explores life in Mogadishu, the capital of Somalia, where a large security wall divides the city. On one side, millions of Somali people face the daily danger of violence. On the other side, there’s a UN compound where diplomats, aid workers, and peacekeepers live and work. It’s very hard to move between these two sides.
