A Two-Sided Look at the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

Monday, October 29, 2007

In 2002, a female Israeli student died alongside her attacker, a female Palestinian suicide bomber, in a Jerusalem market. The suicide bomb triggered worldwide attention because the two girls bore an uncanny resemblance to each other. Hilla Medalia, the director of a new documentary, “To Die in Jerusalem”, talks about how one mother journeyed to find the mother of her daughter’s killer, and the deep roots of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

”To Die in Jerusalem” debuts exclusively on HBO: Thursday, November 1 at 9pm. To learn more about the documentary and future airdates, visit the HBO website.

    Must be an incredible story with an emotional journey. I came across a website about Estonia’s Singing Revolution – http://singingrevolution.com, two documentary film makers captured this courageous and emotional story of a country revolting against Russian occupation.
