1913: Seeds of Conflict

Most observers consider the Balfour Declaration and Mandate period of the 1920's as the origin of today’s Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Breaking new ground, "1913: Seeds of Conflict", a one-hour documentary directed by filmmaker Ben Loeterman, explores the divergent social forces growing in Palestine before World War I, when Arabs and Jews co-existed in harmony as Ottomans, each yearning for a land to call their own.
