Description

This urgent portrait of the Israel-Palestinian conflict takes a cross-section look at the situation today from a multitude of perspectives. Directed by award-winning Israeli filmmaker Amos Gitai (Rabin, Free Zone), who returns to the occupied territories for the first time since he made his acclaimed 1982 film, Field Diary. West of the Jordan River shows how people from different sides and angles are working towards peace as conventional politics fail to resolve one of of the world’s foremost and longstanding issues. This human approach to the subject provides new insight and will expand your understanding of the peace process and the myriad obstacles many are struggling to overcome.
