Two peoples, two historical narratives, two opposed truths—and this remarkably fair-minded documentary allows viewers to hear both sides equally, Palestinian and Israeli.
Juxtaposing interviews conducted in 1988 with interviews of the same people more than a decade later, documentarian David K. Shipler brings viewers into the minds of a variety of thoughtful Arabs and Jews, revealing which issues and attitudes have changed and which have remained intractable. "We have to believe that the future can be different from the past," insists one of the interviewees at the film’s conclusion.
