Disturbing the Peace (2016)
Highly recommended
The film is about former enemy combatants--Israeli soldiers from elite units and Palestine fighters, many who have served years in prison--who have joined together to challenge the war mentality and say "enough". Their journeys from soldiers committed to armed battle to nonviolent peace activists lead to the creation of Combatants for Peace. Although the film deals primarily with the Israel-Palestine conflict, it's application is really universal. It is quite magnificent and we got to dialog with Stephen Apkon afterward, via Skype. He is an incredible human being, an inspiration to me. The film has wide distribution throughout the world and hopefully will become a template for the human race moving toward a peaceful co-coexistence. I highly recommend it and will see if I can buy it from Combatants for Peace.
