Encounter Point
Abstaining from the usual media headlines of hatred and conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, Encounter Point instead focuses on their commonality: loss.     

This stirring film documents the struggle faced by members of the Bereaved Families Forum, a group of Palestinians and Israelis who have lost loved ones. Braving suicide bombings and checkpoints to meet with militants on both sides, they seek peaceful resolutions to prevent further loss of life.

Winner of the Audience Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival. Australian premiere!
