Sour Milk and Honey follows a stranger to the Middle East - a young man of both Jewish and Muslim descent - on a quest to find out what lies behind the headlines and buzzwords of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. As he wanders through Israel, Gaza, and the West Bank, we see the lives and hear the stories of men, women, students, settlers, activists, soldiers, militants, and others. From the scene of a bus bomb or protesters’ conflagration with the Israeli army, to a visit with the parents of the “American martyr,” Rachel Corrie, Sour Milk and Honey is a candid and revealing look at one of the world’s hottest hot spots.
While peace has become a worn out word, helpless to contain the brutal collision of identities and narratives, he finds some who are willing to listen, learn, share, and change.
They breath life into the word… they are on all sides.
This film is the artistic product of diversity. People of Jewish, Muslim, Christian, Arab, Israeli, Palestinian, African-American, Moroccan, Lebanese, French and Canadian backgrounds have contributed to the film’s realization. It is both a symbol and expression of the all-embracing peace that is our highest aspiration. Followed by a Q&A with director Tarek Maassarani.
