An exploration of differences, A first step?

I am not Semitic, and neither Jewish nor Muslim, so I may see this differently than someone with a more emotional position. This is an exploration of differences, showing how peoples experience the same events from different perspectives, and how hard it is for individuals to get past the fears and interpretations that come from their own families to reach out to the human beings on the other side.

Most of the seven kids who filmed videos for this projects worked hard to understand their differences and to explore the sources of their family's fears. They did a good job of presenting a balanced document which shows how hard reconciliation can be.  And, I imagine their very willingness to engage and share could infuriate the idealogues on either side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
