Disturbing the Peace (2016) ScreenPeace Film Festival
After fighting in a war, how do you fight for peace? Given that soldiers often have the most direct view to the ravages of war, it isn’t surprising that many veterans have becoming some of the loudest and most effective peacemakers. This documentary profiles Combatants for Peace, which is comprised of both Israelis and Palestinians who once fought against one another and now aim to end the bloodshed they witnessed firsthand. Their stories, which are compelling and deeply personal, show how one can convert to a peaceful stance and then, in turn, advocate for fighting to end.
