Winner of the Audience Award at the San Francisco International Film Festival and Winner of the Spirit of Freedom Award at the Bahamas International Film Festival. Ronit Avni and Julia Bacha’s inspiring documentary ENCOUNTER POINT is about the Bereaved Family Circle, a group made up of 250 Israelis and 250 Palestinians who have lost family members in the fighting and who come together to dialog about peace, risking their lives and public standing to promote a nonviolent end to the Mideast conflict. Their journeys lead them to the unlikeliest places to confront hatred within their communities. ENCOUNTER POINT is an upbeat film about everyday leaders, not reported on by the news media, who choose peaceful action instead of revenge.
“A riveting documentary, which blazes with a kind of spiritual grace…” — Melissa Levine, Village Voice.
