PALESTINIANS AND ISRAELIS MEET: Reconciliation Through Shared Bereavement

 Export to My Calendar

The Parents Circle - Families Forum (PCFF) is a joint Palestinian Israeli organization of over 600 families, all of whom have lost a close family member as a result of the prolonged conflict. How do they cope with their own grief? Can they listen to the stories and grasp the reality on the other side? How will dialogue change their positions or not? Can these small steps of encounter lead to big steps of political peace?

The film "Two Sided Story" observes what happens when 27 of these individuals meet, challenge each other, and also, ultimately, learn to listen to each other. We will watch extended segments of the movie and discuss them along with Judy Wall, a Board member of the American Friends of PCFF.
