Little Town of Bethlehem: The Movie
Ahmad Al'Azzeh and Sami Awad, Executive Director of Holy Land Trust, are among those featured in this new documentary film about Palestinian nonviolence.
From the website: "Sami, Ahmad, Yonatan come from radically different backgrounds in a land of unending war. Yet, against all odds, including some within their Israeli and Palestinian communities, they are able to find common ground. They walk a path of non-violent struggle in lockstep with Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi. For them courage is found not in taking up arms, but setting them down once and for all and extending a hand in peace.
"From the award-winning team that brought you End of the Spear (2006) and Miss HIV (2007) comes director Jim Hanon's latest documentary, Little Town of Bethlehem. Unscripted and unrehearsed, discover the humanity lurking behind an ancient cycle of violence."
