A documentary about the history of the conflict between Jews and Arabs over the lands of the Middle East, focusing on the intifadah-- the Palestinian civil uprising that began on the occupied West Bank in the late 1980s. The film shows the conflict from both sides, giving voice to the full spectrum of opinion: Arabs and Jews, doves and militants, rational academics and bloodied combatants. The film's attempt to give meaningful form to violence and confusion is mirrored in interspersed performances by dancers, theater groups, protest singers, and a remarkable street-performer.
