In the Land of Pomegranates

Stories of Israeli and Palestinian Youth

From Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Hava Kohav Beller comes her new film IN THE LAND OF POMEGRANATES, a suspenseful, multi-layered documentary centered on a group of young people who were born into a violent and insidious ongoing war. They are young Palestinians and Israelis invited to Germany to join a retreat called 'Vacation From War' where they live under the same roof and face each other every day.

They are all caught in the duality of the pomegranate: will they embrace rebirth and each other's humanity, or will they pull the pin on the grenade?

"Sobering. A tough and clear-eyed look at how things are, rather than how we want them to be."- Ken Jaworowski, The New York Times

"Hava Kohav Beller's beautifully shot documentary gives an urgent and very modern new face to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."- New York Magazine
