Colliding Dreams

Streaming video - 2015

This documentary recounts the dramatic history of one of the most controversial, and urgently relevant political ideologies of the modern era. The century-old conflict in the Middle East continues to play a central role in world politics. And yet, amidst this fierce, often-lethal controversy, the Zionist idea of a homeland for Jews in the land of ancient Israel remains little understood and its meanings often distorted. COLLIDING DREAMS addresses that void with a gripping exploration of Zionism’s meaning, history and future. Told through the remarkable lives and voices of Jews and Palestinians living in the Middle East today, the film weaves together past and present, ideas and passions, wars and peace talks, brilliant minds with the voic...es of ordinary citizens to develop a film portrait of unprecedented depth and sensitivity. *"[COLLIDING DREAMS] stands as a significant cinematic achievement." - Frank Scheck, **Hollywood Reporter*** more
