The Secret World is a fiction feature film set in Ramallah. Adapting �Lord of the Flies�, William Golding�s classic, dark story of young British schoolboys on a deserted island who descend into brutality, The Secret World follows a group of Palestinian school children who wake up one day to find all the adults have disappeared. Confined in the West Bank by a massive encircling wall, they are left to form their own society and rules. Part mystery thriller, part political satire, The Secret World examines what happens to a society when it is cut off from both outside influences and its own heritage. As such it provides a fascinating doorway into issues such as democracy, human rights, social cooperation and rule of law � all through the eyes of children.
