"My So-Called Enemy" sample reel

Some have lost friends and family members. All bear the psychological and emotional scars of living in a war zone. In July 2002, 22 Palestinian, Israeli and Palestinian Israeli teenage girls traveled to the United States to participate in a women's leadership program called Building Bridges for Peace. "My So-Called Enemy" is the story of 6 of the girls and how the experience of knowing their "enemies" as human beings meets with the realities of their lives in the Middle East over the next 7 years.

"My So-Called Enemy" shows the humanity and complexities of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Directed by Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Lisa Gossels, it is also a coming of age story that speaks to the power of individual narratives to open hearts and minds and create space for dialogue. It celebrates the important role of women in building peaceful communities.
