The Walljumper Of Akka

Palestinian youth jumping from the old city walls in Akka into the Mediterranean. It´s a dangerous sport, but expresses somehow freedom and the image of "We are here", in an Israeli city in the North with a long history of colonism through cruzaders, the seige through conqueror Napoleon, the British mandate and finally nowadays expulsion lead by the Israeli administration which is pushing majority of Palestinian inhabitents out of the old city to extend the tourism business in Akka.
