Birth of a Conflict, Episode 3

Three episodes, 56 min. each

Never-seen-before archival film and audio recordings dating back to the British Mandate of Palestine bring the complex history of Israel-Palestine to life. Birth of a Conflict takes a deep dive into the origins of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with Arab and Israeli historians  represented in equal measure. The series explores the significant events and personalities that made possible the founding of the State of Israel but failed to achieve the same for Palestinians.

The Checkpoint Women: Memories

A group of Israeli women established Checkpoint Watch to guard the human rights of those passing through the checkpoints between Israel and the West Bank.
Over  the years these women have documented the checkpoints on film, providing viewers with a never-before-seen angle on their interactions with the soldiers and their advocacy for the population's needs.
This documentary showcases Israeli women  with extraordinary courage, humanity and dedication.
