Voices Across the Divide
is a powerful documentary and oral history project exploring
the Israeli/Palestinian conflict through rarely heard personal stories.
Narrated by filmmaker, Alice Rothchild, an American Jew raised on the tragedies
of the Holocaust and the dream of a Jewish homeland in Israel, the film follows
her personal journey as she began to understand the Palestinian narrative,
while exploring the Palestinian experience of loss, occupation, statelessness,
and immigration to the US.

Alice Rothchild's Voices Across the Divide, which co-won the Boston Palestine Film Festival's ‘2013
Audience Award for Best Film’, is both powerful and courageous. It provides a
rare opportunity to hear the voices and narratives from the Palestinian
diaspora, including from right here in Massachusetts, and highlights the
transformative awakening and growth that can take place when we allow the
stories of others to be heard.
