Blood & Tears: The Arab-Israeli Conflict
Blood & Tears: The Arab-Israeli Conflict
Like an open wound that will not heal the Arab-Israeli conflict refuses to be resolved. Acclaimed documentary producer and director, Isidore Rosmarin, and co-producer, Jeff Helmreich, have made BLOOD AND TEARS, the definitive film on this seemingly intractable conflict. Having acquired over 20 years of news and documentary production experience working at major network programs such as CBS’s “60 Minutes,” NBC’s “Dateline”, Court TV, A&E and many other prime-time shows, Rosmarin now uncovers the truth beneath the hype and the headlines. Rosmarin and his team of Middle East experts have gone right to the source: the ministers and mullahs, the fanatics and peaceniks, the soldiers and terrorists, and the ordinary families battling extraordinary forces as they try to live normal lives. They have interviewed top officials from both sides, from former Israeli prime ministers to senior Palestinian officials to the leaders of the militant extremist group Hamas, Sheikh Bitawi and the late Dr. Abdel aziz Rantisi. They have also interviewed renowned Mideast scholars Bernard Lewis & Fouad Ajami and the foremost Palestinian scholar, Rashid Khalidi. BLOOD AND TEARS explores the origin of the confrontation itself, and challenges many of the deep-rooted myths we all hold about this epicenter of human conflict.
“Any attempt to elucidate the most vitriolic turf dispute of our time in just 73 minutes may seem insanely ambitious, but Isidore Rosmarin, the documentary filmmaker and producer, was not deterred. In BLOOD AND TEARS: THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT, he methodically traces the battle from its biblical origins to the fragile present through the eyes of everyone from fundamentalist Muslims to committed Zionists . . . this painstakingly nonpartisan documentary places its faith in the facts.” (Jeanette Catsoulis, New York Times)
“The film’s strength lies in its remarkable list of interviews.” (Charles Peterson, Village Voice)
“Enlightening…admirable in depth and scope” (Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York)
“BLOOD AND TEARS…should be on one’s must-view list.” (Neil Berro, Congress Monthly)
“Exceptional and noteworthy … A landmark film that gives new insight to the conflict,” (Akhtar Faruqui, Pakistan Link)
