Filmed from 2017-2024, including post October 7 and during the subsequent war, The Other focuses on Israeli & Palestinian peace-builders, anti-occupation activists, artists, academics, ex-fighters, bereaved parents and many more living the reality on the ground. Whether in non-violent co-resistance, peace-building, or shared community, we witness those who have only known each other through hate, bloodshed, inequality, and war, transcend beyond narratives & belief systems. They teach us that unlearning deep-seated conditioning is possible and that we can liberate ourselves from generational trauma, hatred and fear — no matter how ingrained and legitimate those fears are.
Director’s Statement:
Post October 7th and during the subsequent war, we revisited subjects from the film to address where they stand now, showcase their progress towards peace, justice, co-resistance and human rights, as well as unpack the added layer of complexity and trauma in a post October 7th Israel-Palestine.
In the face of such atrocities and polarization, The Other showcases another reality, an entire ecosystem of peace builders and activists in Israel-Palestine working together towards a better future.

To a Land Unknown
In this outstanding crime drama, two Palestinian cousins are exiled in Athens and in dire need of funds for fake passports to move their family to Germany. A slippery slope of moral compromise awaits as they resort to human smuggling and hostage-taking.
Drop Dead City
New York, 1975. The city is minutes away from bankruptcy and President Gerald Ford wants no part of it. Sanitation workers are on strike and cops are telling tourists it's not safe to visit. The town is going up in flames and they can't pay the firemen.
Sinners
This year's unexpected box office sleeper is that rare beast, a genre movie full of bold invention and surprise. We are in Mississippi in the early 1930s, and the opening of a new blues joint on the edge of town is the signal for all hell to break out.
