The Story

Roni 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.
