| description | Verzio FF
In November 2005, 12-year-old Palestinian Ahmed Chatib was accidentally shot and killed by an Israeli soldier, as he played in the Jenin refugee camp. Following his death, his parents made the decision to donate Ahmed’s organs to children in need throughout the region, including a Bedouin, a Druze and an Orthodox Jew. One and a half years have passed since then. What has Ismail al-Chatib, of the Jenin refugee camp, achieved with his peace gesture? To find out how Ismail’s deed changed the life of the recipients’ families, it is necessary to travel throughout Israel, from its northern hills on the Lebanese border, past the contended Holy City of Jerusalem, down to the edge of the Negev Desert in the south of the land. Through interviews with the children and their families we enter the tumultuous world of the northern West Bank through the perspective of those who despite great suffering and privation, still aspire to reconciliation and peace. |
