Refusing To Be Enemies: The Zeitouna Story

The Zeitouna Story is a 58-minute long 2007 documentary film that profiles a self-formed group of twelve ordinary women calling themselves “Zeitouna,” the Arab word for olive tree. There are six Palestinian women and six Jewish women, some are American-born, others are immigrants. One is a Holocaust survivor, and another is a survivor of the Nakbah’s terror; their ages span 40 years.

These women have come together to share a story of purposeful sisterhood, and how the learning and practice of dialogue can be a catalyst for personal transformation and the basis of peace and understanding.
