Kids from both sides meet in summer camp and confront their prejudices about each other in real life. “If I could, I would kill them,” says Rana. And Tal: “I would like to make peace.” The children meet each other at summer camp – children from Palestine and Israel, curious about each other but at the same time apprehensive. For a few days, they will have fun in the absence of their parents and their highly politicized daily life. The kids wear T-shirts made for this light-hearted encounter which are printed with the slogan “We are the Future”. T-shirts worn by children whose parents are enemies. But is their future a hope or burden? Can the children free themselves from the jaded fronts within the heads of their parents?
The documentary SHALOM SALAM tells about the conflict in the Middle East through the eyes of Israeli and Palestinian children.
