Another Side of Peace

ANOTHER SIDE OF PEACE introduces Roni Hirshenzon, a 60 year old Israeli man who has suffered as much as any parent can imagine: Both of Ronis sons are dead. Each died at age nineteen as a direct result of the violence in the region. Putting hatred and despair aside, Roni cofounded the Parents Circle, a support group for bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families who have lost children in the conflict. The film follows Ronis internal journey to come to terms with the deaths of his two sons and his efforts to reach reconciliation and promote peace. He works with Ghazi Briegieth, his Palestinian counterpart, to connect with other bereaved parents in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Their worldwide message is simple: No More Death.
