2001 documentary directed by Carlos Bolado. Several Jewish and Palestinian children are followed for three years and put in touch with each other. The three filmmakers followed a group of seven children, all with different backgrounds, between 1995 and 1998. These seven children tell their own story about growing up in Jerusalem. Through this portrait of their generation, we see how deep rooted 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. The dvd includes updates of the children, footage from their trip to the 2002 Academy Awards, deleted sequences and filmmakers' bios. In Arabic, Hebrew and English with optional English subtitles. Unrated, 106 minutes. |
