About the film:
Disturbing the Peace follows the story of former enemy combatants—Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters—who have joined together to challenge the status quo and say "enough." The film reveals their transformational journeys from soldiers committed to armed battle to nonviolent peace activists, leading to the creation of combatants for peace.
The film follows everyday people who took extraordinary actions by standing for what they believe in, just like those who came before them—Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and many other whose names we don't know. The movies challenges all of us —to understand the narratives we live within to look at our current roles in our societies, and to decide what role we are going to play in creating a more humane world, for all. And it starts with our willingness to disturb the peace.
