Israel/Palestine: Jews and Arabs have never succeeded in finding a good way to live together. It is rare to find, on this soil of pain and suffering, activities that can breathe a little hope into a world where arms and politics have so clearly failed. For Manuel, we are all the same on a sports field; sweat and tears have the same taste for everyone, whatever their race or religion. Manuel introduces us to athletes from all walks of life and in all kinds of condition. He takes us from Gaza surfers to disabled sport veterans of the Israel Defence Forces, from Galilee peace footballers to Krav Maga practitioners in the Israeli army, not forgetting the first Palestinian athlete ever to participate in the Olympic Games.
