In July 2002, 22 Israeli and Palestinian teenage girls traveled to the United States to participate in a women’s leadership program called “Building Bridges for Peace.” They were Jewish, Muslim and Christian, and many had lost friends and family in the conflict. My So-Called Enemy follows six of these young women to reveal how the experience complicated their lives and attitudes over the next seven years.

Sayed Kashua (2010 SFJFF Freedom of Expression Award winner) is a successful Israeli writer with a top-rated television comedy series, Arab Labor, but as a Palestinian citizen of Israel he’s a walking, talking existential crisis. Director Dorit Zimbalist’s fast-paced documentary makes us feel what it’s like to be a stranger in your own land.
