The StoryRoni
Hirshenzon is a 60-year-old Israeli man who has suffered as much as any
parent can imagine. Both of Roni's sons are dead. He lost his oldest
son, Amir, in a double suicide bombing. His other son, Elad, committed
suicide five years later, when his best friend was killed by another
bombing. Putting
anger and despair aside, Roni co-founded The Parents Circle, a support
group for bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families who have lost
children in the conflict. Another Side of Peace
follows Roni's internal journey to come to terms with the deaths of his
two sons, and his efforts to reach reconciliation and promote peace. He
works with Ghazi Briegieth, his Palestinian counterpart, to connect
with other bereaved families in Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
Their worldwide message is simple: No More Death. |
