Two-Sided
Story is a powerful documentary that charts what happened when
Palestinians from a range of different religious and political
backgrounds met with a group of Israelis, from similarly diverse
backgrounds. The film is funny, sad and moving. Without taking sides
it provides a very illuminating insight into what actually happens
when people from opposing sides sit down together, listen to what the
other has to say and see each other as human beings.
The
film has been produced by The Parents Circle Family Forum, a charity
which consists of a group of more than 500 Palestinian and Israeli
families who believe that retaliation is not a useful response to
violence. All of them have lost close relatives to inter-communal
violence, and are determined to spare others what they have suffered. The Forum runs a wide variety of educational, social and artistic
projects in Israel and the Palestinian territories and due to
generous sponsorship from the Claremont Hotel, The One World Centre,
and the Isle of Man Interfaith Group, 100% of the cost of a ticket
will go to supporting this work.
Human rights journalist Diane Taylor who works with the
charity, will be visiting the Island and after the film will lead a discussion/questions and answers session.
