![]() In The Land Of PomegranatesDVDThe pomegranate is the fruit of the land, a symbol of rejuvenation and rebirth. It is also a euphemism for a hand grenade. From Oscar-nominated director Hava Kohav Beller comes a suspenseful, multi-layered documentary centered on a group of young people born into a violent, on-going war. They are young Palestinians and Israelis, caught in the duality of the pomegranate: will they embrace rebirth and each other's humanity, or will they pull the pin on the grenade? Quotes: Hava Kohav Beller's beautifully shot documentary gives an urgent and very modern new face to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. - New York Magazine An extraordinary documentary that becomes an immediate must-see. The movie does a splendid job of forcing us to consistently confront both sides of the issue and to see things from the alternative viewpoint. It is moving and surprising, even occasionally funny, but always thoughtful and humane. - James van Maanen, Trust Movies Sobering. A tough and clear-eyed look at how things are, rather than how we want them to be. - The New York Times In The Land Of The Pomegranates
