Promises (2001) Children in Israel-Palestine + Update (2004) ENsubs

ARABIC/HEBREW/ENGLISH spoken (ENGLISH hard subtitles) (Aired as a PBS P.O.V. special) What better way to learn about the Middle East conflict than from the perspective of the children living there? And what better way to strive for peace by meeting people (in this case other children) from the "other side" and talking to them, trying to get to know each other and try to understand their side, too. Plot Summary 1: What is it really like to live in Jerusalem today? PROMISES offers touching and surprisingly fresh insight into the Middle East conflict when filmmaker B.Z. Goldberg returns to his hometown to see what seven children ?Palestinian and Israeli ? think about war, peace and just growing up. Living within 20 minutes of each other, these children are nevertheless locked in separate worlds. Through candid interviews, the film explores a legacy of distrust and bitterness, but signs of hope emerge when some of the children dare to cross the checkpoints to meet one another. Plot Summary 2: Several Jewish and Palestinian children are followed for three years and put in touch with each other, in this alternative look at the Jewish-Palestinian conflict. The three filmmakers followed a group of seven local children between 1995 and 1998. They all have a totally different background. These seven children tell their own story about growing up in Jerusalem. Through this portrait of their generation, we see how deeprooted and almost insoluble the problems of the Middle East have become. When the protagonists speak out in an epilogue a couple of years later, it becomes apparent that all have lost their childlike innocence.
