Offers hope for the seemingly hopeless situation in the Middle East. Well produced. Long. There is so much value in seeing unscripted, unrehearsed kids telling their stories, from different parts of the world. The kids are real, not all nicey nicey. They have their issues and their difficulties that they have to deal with.
Imagine spending three weeks living with someone you consider your enemy. In SEEDS, ten extraordinary teenagers undertake that challenge. Every summer, kids from Israel, Palestine, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and America meet at the Seeds of Peace International Camp in Maine. For three life-changing weeks, they learn to share their dreams and fears, listen to opposing views, see beyond prejudices, and eventually respect each other as individuals as they attempt to build the one thing they all strive for: a future. There is nothing "kumbaya" about this. Struggling through extreme highs and lows, these kids face one another with inspiring honesty and courage. In the end, they learn one thing... "In order to make peace with your enemy, you have to go to war with yourself."
