"The film makes the conflicting parties perceptible to each other
and to us." - Suddeutsche Zeitung

"After [seeing the film], spectators will realise that the
Israeli-Palestinian problem will not be resolved from above nor by
using force. The solution~E..has to do with a reconciliation of two
societies, a reconciliation that needs to take place close to two
societies, a reconciliation that needs to take place close to home,
on the ground. It needs to happen urgently" - Le Nouvel Observateur.
