About the film

Disturbing the Peace follows a group of former Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters who have laid down their weapons and are working together through non-violence to end one of the oldest, seemingly intractable narratives of our time.

The film is a journey of people triumphing over stories. Riding the front lines of national narratives, Israeli and Palestinian soldiers come face to face with the perceived opposition. Realities are shaken as they participate in the horrors of war only to discover that the true enemy is the collective inability to see past an old story in which victim and victimizer are stuck in a never-ending cycle of violence. This revelation allows for an opportunity to transcend right and wrong, question the creation of narrative and its acceptance as reality, and realize our shared humanity.
