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.
