My So-Called Enemy

Celebrating Diversity, Interfaith and Intercultural Understanding

A coming-of-age film about the vital role of listening and empathy in bridging bridges across personal, cultural, religious, political and gender divides.

In the spirit of Michael Apted's "7 Up" series, the award-winning MY SO-CALLED ENEMY follows six courageous Palestinian and Israeli teenage girls who participated in a cross-cultural women's leadership program in the U.S. and documents how the transformative experience of knowing their "enemies" as human beings in US meets with the realities of their lives back home in the Middle East over the next seven years.

A film about not making assumptions about, or creating "an other," MY SO-CALLED ENEMY presents the complexities of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict through a human lens, and the possibility and hope that come from listening to each other's stories.

Winner of Jury Prize, Best Conflict & Resolution Film at the Hamptons International Film Festival.
