About the Film:

For more than a century, a persistent conflict has unfolded between Arabs and Jews. In an extraordinary departure from the norm, a collective of visionaries chose to defy the entrenched narratives of their nationalities and histories. This daring venture led to the establishment of a village in 1970s Israel, conceived as a social experiment. The documentary intricately follows the life trajectories of the numerous children who were nurtured in this unconventional setting.

In this audacious endeavor to shape a new generation, the internal struggles of the community, coupled with the external conflict, tested the boundaries of their revolutionary ecosystem. Now, these Children of Peace, having matured into adults, grapple with the stark realities of political turmoil, war, and societal segregation. Their journey unfolds against the backdrop of a transformative experiment that sought to transcend the longstanding tensions between Arabs and Jews. FIND OUT MORE CLICK HERE
