Blood and Tears: The Arab Israeli Conflict Promo

BLOOD AND TEARS: THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT:

Making a documentary film about the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that would be both balanced, thorough and entertaining appears, at first site, to be just as Sisyphean an undertaking as actually ending the conflict itself. Yet acclaimed producer/director Isidore Rosmarin took to the task anyway, coming up with a remarkable piece of documentary filmmaking. Interviewing officials and laypeople from both sides - from former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the leaders of Hamas - Rosmarin creates a pastiche of opinions and viewpoints, never failing to root them in an artfully constructed web of facts and figures. The result is awe-inspiring; like all great pieces of documentary cinema, this one, too, weds the real and the perceived, the concrete and the emotional, challenging even the most deep-set of beliefs. Particularly now, when the situation in Israel and the Occupied Territories is more fragile than ever, this is a must-see.
