Here is the trailer It is an hour long and interviews people from two Palestinian – Jewish peace-building organisations, Parents Circle – Families Forum (that is made up from Palestinians and Jews who have had loved ones killed in the conflict) and Combatants for Peace (made up of former Jewish soldiers and Palestinian fighters who now reject violence as the way forward to a socially just outcome).

The Narrow Bridge follows four individuals whose lives have been shattered by conflict in the Middle East — yet who respond not with revenge, but with courage and compassion.

Rami, Bassam, Bushra and Meytal have each lost a child or parent. In the face of unimaginable grief, they choose to transform their pain into a bridge towards understanding and peace.

•   How do we live after devastating loss?
•   How do we resist being defined by hatred?
•   How do we hold on to our humanity in the face of violence?

Join us for a facilitated conversation exploring themes of reconciliation, shared humanity and connection across faiths.
