- 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.

- DirectorPeter FriedmanRoger ManleyStarsTe Warihi HeterakaMalcolm PeriDanny Jim HatahlieWhat do the Shroud of Turin, Elvis's Graceland, and a flag flown barely a moment over the U.S. Capitol have in common. Mana - that sacred, spiritual power thought to reside in a person, place or thing. Belief is not just religion, say filmmakers Friedman and Manley. It drives the stock market; it determines how we encapsulate history and our personal memories. It underlies racism and war... A trip around the amazing world of power objects, from the sacred to the absurd.
