Summaries

Many describe the Israeli Palestinian conflict using such words as 'occupation', 'apartheid, 'ethnic cleansing' and 'endless cycle of violence'. Yet, none of these terms characterizes the reality - what goes on in Palestine is not of our experience, not represented in our our language. To get to some understanding, we must observe carefully. But, that leads to holding multiple and conflicting ideas in the mind, putting ourselves into a state of 'cognitive dissonance'. It is at this point that most revert back to their political comfort zone. Here, at last, is a film that gets beyond simple minded appraisals and takes us on a thoughtful journey into an unknown world.—Anonymous
