Before watching this film, I didn't know much about the Israeli occupation of Palestine other than the bits I saw on the news. The film was informative: it clearly explained the conflict. But then, it went deeper and explored how both Palestinians and Israelis alike are affected by the conflict. Individuals are profiled and many have dramatic stories about how they made a complete 180 in their lives to move from violence and towards seeking peace. Seeing individuals from both sides of the conflict put down their weapons and strive for peace was inspiring. The film gave me a new view on peace: peace isn't just stopping and putting down your weapon, it's actively working towards change and peace for all. Peace takes work and this film show that very clearly, leaving me educated and inspired. This is more than a movie, it's the start of a movement towards peace.
