40. Justine Shapiro, B.Z. Goldberg, Promises (2001)
A memorable documentary of a staged encounter between the children of Palestine and Israel. They spend a day together to find out the kids on the other side can be just as regular and friendly as they are. Staged, yes, but the experience is none the less legitimate and touching. What kind of psychological burden the kids are forced to carry day in day out... And all remains sans issue.
For a foreign audience some historical footages to contextualize the conflict would have been very useful. But this may not be necessary, after all. One film I'd like to show to my undergraduate students.
