Gerburg Rohde-Dahl’s powerful and momentous documentary follows a group of Israelis and Palestinians who came together in Germany for a seminar in the aftermath of October 7, 2023 to speak and listen.
A group of Israelis and Palestinians came together in Germany for a dialogue in the aftermath of October 7, 2023 and the subsequent war in Gaza. This nine-day seminar allowed those taking part to express their unresolvable feelings of trauma, grief, and rage while at the same time encouraging them to find moments of empathy and compassion. For this powerful and momentous documentary, director Gerburg Rohde-Dahl visited the seminar, filming the participants during breaks between the sessions. The resulting work shows the tremendous attempts of people in agony to put aside politics and discover their shared humanity. Rohde-Dahl’s film shows that through the act of listening, all of us may live with and through our own pain.
