The Bands Visit

http://www.israel-on-blog.com/a-movie-you-must-see-the-bands-visit/

This is a really interesting movie. The context is complicated but the plot is deliberatly and powerfully simple. An Egyptain police band of characters gets lost in the middle of nowhere in Isreal and people connect and collide. I had not heard of it when I watched it over break with family. I was googling it to see what information/reviews I could find and I came across this website that has a youtube clip, PLUS more importantly, an incredible statement from the director/script writer. Here is a piece of that statement: "A lot of movies have been made touching on the question of why there is no peace, but it seems that fewer have been made about the question of why we need peace in the first place. The obvious is lost on us in the midst of conversations centering on economic advantages and interests." See this movie or at least read what Eran Kolirin has to say.
