This moving, real, and guardedly hopeful documentary follows six young women--three Palestinians and three Israelis--during and after a "peace camp" which insists that they listen to each others' deepest feelings about what divides them. They struggle to open each other up, reach out, become friends, and significantly though tenuously bridge the chasm between them even as bombs and rockets explode. These young women, each in her own way, choose futures which may light paths out of an intractable conflict. You will be glad you met them.
Oh, and bring hankies. Even the guys in the audience were crying, and not for sadness.
