Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

Just what I expected

Brilliant and touching

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This documentary is an absolutely thorough and scrupulous analysis of this perennial and hyperbolic conflict. I believe that this should be the starting point for anyone looking to understand this issue of Arab Israeli conflict. This is the most unbiased and impartial documentary i have ever seen on this issue. It covers all the major events in this conflict along with the painstaking peace efforts by the Americans. The important thing that this documentary has done is to debunk the anti Israeli propaganda that has been quite common among Muslims and leftists in the West. It also shows the detailed point of views of all the major stakeholders in this conflict

This documentary is by far, the best one i have ever seen, you get to hear first hand story lines from the leaders of the nations (at the time) themselves, USA presidents, Israely PM, Palestinian leaders, Syrian military leaders, etc.Its really worth watching, especially that we would want to know the true story behind all the news we have been hearing about them for as long as we can remember!it also covers in depth, the true happenings of the Oslo agreement, and how it went sour..not only that, but you get to see how the sensitivity between the two peoples has grown over the past 50 years alone.

This was a complete eye-opener for me - and I'd considered myself pretty familiar with the politics and history of the region since I lived there for a significant period of time. To hear about these events from the very mouths of the people who were there, its just the most fascinating thing ever. Absolutely mandatory viewing.

For anyone who's the least bit interested in international history and politics this is a fascinating documentary. The story of the Israeli-Arab conflict from 1947 to 1998 has been written about in newspapers and depicted in newscasts. Always, however, one has been left with the incomplete story, or a story reported with a slant. Here is something very different. The politicians, the generals, the terrorists, the peacemakers, the citizens - so very many of the important people who were involved in this history provide us with insightful present-day interviews into what was happening when they themselves were making history over the past 50 year period. To hear President Jimmy Carter explain how and why Anwar Sadat almost stormed out of the Camp David peace talks before a deal was reached makes and how he managed to salvage this situation at the last minute; to hear the top military brass of Syria explain why he was terrified at the prospect of a face to face meeting with Israelis (because it has never before happened) - these are the kinds of glimpses into history that make this documentary the success that it is. It is near-perfect.
