Set in the context of the Middle East conflict, OASIS OF PEACE is the story of a village in Israel where Jews and Palestinians, all Israeli citizens, have been living together as equals since 1978. The program examines the methodology of the villageÃs SCHOOL FOR PEACE whose workshops address issues of prejudice and ignorance. The village and its schools have been nominated five times for the Nobel Peace Prize. This video will promote racial harmony and understanding and should serve as a departure for further dialogue. This video documents the coexistence of two peoples who for the past 47 years have been taught to hate one another. Steeped in stereotypes of their opposite number the young men and women who come together at these meetings try to reason through the conflicts that confront them daily and in the outside world.
