Alternative look at the Jewish-Palestinian conflict
US-Jewish filmmaker BZ Goldberg, and co-directors Justine Shapiro and Carlos Bolado, view the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from a children's perspective in Oscar-nominated "Promises". This gives the film a sadly contemporary relevance in the light of the latest developments in Gaza where three 14-year-olds attacked a Jewish settlement in desperation, already feeling a responsibility to fight.
