What, to Palestinians and Israelis, is worth great risks -- personal dangers to life, and loss of social acceptance by

Dear educators and supporters of Jewish-Palestinian Dialogue,

     Film can move people and relationships forward and upward.
     For education and inspiration, here are three video-films that we have seen help Palestinians and Jews in Dialogue.
     These videos encourage understanding of the Middle East conflict -- the people, their different narratives, their equal humanity, and the supreme importance of building human relationships beginning with listening to one another.
     The videos are excellent and affordable -- huge contributions to the public peace process that must succeed as soon as possible.

1. Playing For Peace

2. Peace Of Mind

3. Crossing The Lines

     This exquisite PBS video demonstrates music as a metaphor for the public peace process.
     A 1992 Middle East Peace Tour is embarked upon by six American musicians of the New Hampshire based Apple Hill Chamber Players.

CONTENT:
    Seven Palestinian and Israeli youth who met at the Seeds of Peace summer camp joined forces to produce PEACE OF MIND -- an unprecedented film that marked the first time that youth from both sides of the Arab- Israeli conflict have come together to create a documentary.
    Using cameras as video diaries, the youth turned the lens on themselves, their families and communities, revealing aspects of the conflict rarely seen in the media.
    The resulting film journeys into the inner worlds of these youth, capturing their varied life experiences, diverse perspectives on the bitter conflict that divides them, and courageous efforts to cross personal and political boundaries -- including the green line -- to seek peaceful coexistence.
    "An enlightening and moving experience . . . poses searching questions and undermines preconceptions." -- The Jerusalem Post
    "Peace of Mind broke through the curtain of fear and disinformation that has existed for so long . . . The innocence and honesty that is portrayed make this film very special." -- Daoud Kuttab, Director of the Institute of Modern Media
    An educator's practical 40-page A GUIDE TO LEARNING booklet accompanies the video. Shipping and handling is included in the price.
