Poster do Filme

Sobre o filme

In 2004, two years after of the Second Intifada riots, a group of Arab and Jewish parents decide to establish a joint bi-national, bi-lingual school in the Arab Ara village, a village in Israel’ Wadi. Some fierce debates preceded the opening of the school. Although the initiative idealistic and noble, the reality of it was that parents still had some major hurdles to overcome and they were forced to defend their decision in the face of opponents and sceptics. The school, which is called Bridge over the Wadi, has room for 50 Jewish and 50 Arab students. The filmmakers observe how students, faculty and parents struggle to coexist peacefully during the first exciting year, against the backdrop of the complicated reality. By the end of the year, it would appear that they have succeeded in establishing a foundation, however shaky and unpredictable it may be. One year later, twice as many students signed up to attend the school. See show times for Double Session 6
