- DirectorB.Z. GoldbergJustine ShapiroCarlos BoladoStarsMoishe Bar AmB.Z. GoldbergShlomo GreenSeveral Jewish and Palestinian children are followed for three years and put in touch with each other, in this alternative look at the Jewish-Palestinian conflict. The three filmmakers followed a group of seven local children between 1995 and 1998. They all have a totally different background. These seven children tell their own story about growing up in Jerusalem.

When the protagonists speak out in an epilogue a couple of years later, it becomes apparent that all have lost their childlike innocence.

- DirectorShari Springer BermanRobert PulciniStarsTyler CassityJay BoileauPeter BartThe Hollywood Memorial Park cemetery was run down and bankrupt.
