Description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Reverberations from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are felt worldwide-the
conflict is perhaps the most divisive, polarizing and documented political
issue of our time. Encounter Point moves beyond sensational and dogmatic
images to tell the story of four civilians who sacrifice their safety, public
standing, communities and homes in order to press for a grassroots movement
for non-violence and peace.

These true civic leaders-an Israeli settler, a convicted Palestinian fighter,
a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian ex-prisoner-navigate
suicide bombings and checkpoints to meet with militants on both sides. Their
journeys lead them to the unlikeliest places, as they stem hatred among their
people and confront the fear within themselves. Encounter Point explores what
drives these, and thousands of other, like-minded civilians to overcome anger
and grief to work for peace, and asks why-with the world's cameras focused on
this conflict-the public has never heard about these courageous and vital
efforts.

Encounter Point chronicles a movement to push Palestinian and Israeli societies
towards a tipping point, towards a new consensus for non-violence and peace.
Perhaps, years from now, the actions of these everyday leaders will be
recognized as a catalyst for constructive change in the region.
