Another Side of Peace

Broadcast and screened at the United Nations and worldwide, Another Side of Peace provides a provocative and intimate look at the human side of conflict, and the healing power of communication and reconciliation. This story reminds us that humanity can supersede politics. Roni Hirshenzon is a 60-year-old Israeli man who has suffered as much as any parent can imagine. Both of his sons are dead. Each died at the age of 19 as a direct result of the conflict in the region. Putting hatred and anger aside, Roni co-founded the Parents Circle, a support group for bereaved families, Israelis and Palestinians together. Another Side of Peace follows Roni's efforts to reach reconciliation and to come to terms with the deaths of his sons. He works with his Palestinian partners to connect with other bereaved families in Israel and the Palestinian Territories. Their message is simple: No More Death.
