documentary

On Thursday night I’ll be going to see the documentary Encounter Point. It seems as though everyday I want to go back to the West Bank more than I did the day before. I don’t know if this has much bearing on my immediate future, but I think it would be great to go back and work with some people like those in the documentary.

A brief description…

IF YOU LOST YOUR LOVED ONES TO VIOLENCE…
IF YOU SPENT TEN YEARS IN PRISON…
IF CONFLICT DROVE YOU FROM YOUR HOME…
WOULD YOU SEEK REVENGE?
OR STRUGGLE FOR PEACE?
Encounter Point is an award-winning feature documentary about Israelis and Palestinians who have lost children or family members to the violence but who risk their lives and public standing to promote a nonviolent end to the conflict. Their journeys lead them to the unlikeliest places to confront hatred within their communities. The film explores what drives them and thousands of other like-minded civilians to overcome anger and grief to work for grassroots solutions in the face of government inaction.
