http://www.pbs.org/itvs/globalvoices/bridgeoverwadi.html
parent at 13:45 – we have to figure this out.. each one with whatever he brings with him…
22 min in – most penetrating story to me – esp from 24 to 26:30.
39:35 – why is creating a better world for our kids so difficult? if we all want it? no?
50:50 – Uri – we shouldn’t kill anybody, we are all people. we all live on earth.

For the first time in Israel, a group of Arab and Jewish parents decide to establish a conjoint bi-national, bi-lingual school inside an Arab village.
The film follows the school’s first year and portrays through the personal stories of its characters, how complicated and fragile is the attempt to create an environment of co-existence against the backdrop of the complicated reality around.

resonates with much of Otto‘s new book, this story in particular:
Her mother, a death camp survivior, had faced unspeakable orrors in the camp, but the only memory she had shared with her children was of seeing Germans weeping as they ined the streets outside the camp when it was liberated. For me, it was breathtaking that she chose only to highlight the humanity of a people whose country had committed such atrocities against her.
