Part 4 of 4.
A young British girl travels to Israel/Palestine, retracing the steps of her grandfather – a British soldier stationed there in the 1940s.
If you want to understand how and why Palestine became Israel
but is still Palestine…watch this film. If you want others to understand, have them watch this film.
To solve any problem, the first step is understanding. And the most powerful single tool for understanding the problems of Palestine, Palestinians, Israel and Israelis is The Promise, by Peter Kosminsky. It is a powerfully entertaining and compelling film, but it provides much more than entertainment.
The film was almost not made. It encountered opposition during the making and only $5 million from a French group rescued it. It was shown on British and French television, but was not shown in North America.
