Filmed from 2017-2024, including post-October 7th and during the subsequent war, “The Other” focuses on Israeli and Palestinian peace builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, bereaved parents and many more living the reality on the ground.
Whether in non-violent co-resistance, peace-building, or shared community, we witness those who have only known each other through hate, bloodshed, inequality, and war, transcend beyond narratives and belief systems. They teach us that unlearning deep-seated conditioning is possible and that we can liberate ourselves from generational trauma, hatred and fear — no matter how ingrained and legitimate those fears are.
In the face of such atrocities and polarization, “The Other” showcases another reality, an entire ecosystem of peace builders and activists in Israel-Palestine working together towards a better future.
