Perhaps it may have something to do with its nternational -- and predominantly female -- crew, but ENCOUNTER POINT actually posits a glimmer of hope for a nonviolent solution to a problem that has existed for generations.

This documentary covers 16 months in the lives of an Israeli settler, a former Palestinian prisoner, an Israeli mother whose child has died, and a Palestinian man who has been wounded due to the turmoil in the region. These fascinating people touch on a number of topics not often covered in the mainstream press, such as how they feel about segregation and how misrepresented they feel by the global news media's attempts to cover a complicated conflict.

Reviews for Encounter Point
In this fascinating documentary, directors Ronit Avni and Julia Bacha ask what kind of person counters malicious violence with activist conciliation, but offer neither pat answers nor false redemption.
It isn't often that you see a film about Israelis and Palestinians that can be called hopeful, but Ronit Avni's assured, thoughtful and clear-eyed documentary certainly qualifies.
It may not break any new aesthetic ground, but Encounter Point might just be the most optimistic film about this conflict you’ll ever see.
