WHERE DOES THE HATE COME FROM?
A DOCUMENTARY BY MARTIN STEIMANN
ISRAEL 2023, 97 minutes, english & german
WHAT IS THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT?
Army presence at Damascus Gate, young people throwing stones and a sunset at the Gaza border fence.
These are just some of the surreal images that 20 German teenagers are confronted with in Israel. In a theatre project they want to be the bridge between Jewish and Arab young people from Sderot and Rahat. Torn between German responsibility and the Muslim background, they try to investigate the question; "Where hate comes from". To do this, they must first understand as a group who they are and what they stand for.
A performance in Tel Aviv will decide whether they manage not to hate each other.
