A beautiful and deeply moving portrait of children in the center of the Middle East conflict, PROMISES follows the journey of a filmmaker who travels in and around Jerusalem, from a Palestinian refugee camp to an Israeli settlement in the West Bank, where he meets seven Palestinian and Israeli children who exist in completely separate worlds, divided by physical, historical and emotional boundaries. This Oscar-nominated, Emmy Award winning film moves the conflict out of politics and into the realm of the human. (Documentary, 2001)
