Encounter Point

Award Winning Documentary Explores Mid-East Conflict from a Grassroots Angle

An important award-winning film will be shown and discussed at the University of Denver this month:

Encounter Point will be presented by Dr. Amin Kazak and Dr. Herzl Melmed on Tuesday, November 13, 2007 at 6:30 p.m. in the CYBER CAFÉ at Ben Cherrington Hall.

According to documentary's official website, this is "an 85-minute feature documentary film that follows a former Israeli settler, a Palestinian ex-prisoner, a bereaved Israeli mother and a wounded Palestinian bereaved brother who risk their lives and public standing to promote a nonviolent end to the conflict. Their journeys lead them to the unlikeliest places to confront hatred within their communities." Its West Coast premiere was at the 2006 San Francisco International Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for Best Documentary.
