About
Writer, director, producer and editor Bruce Barrett
delivers his debut film “The Billboard From Bethlehem,” a stunning and
timely documentary about the owner of an American billboard company who
engages former Israeli soldiers and Palestinian resistance fighters .
The billboard saga becomes the hope manifest and the narrative thread
of the film. As the stories are told by 'The Combatants for Peace', the
film guides us through the conflict, weaving facts, images, and the
personal reflections by Israeli and Palestinian resistance fighters
with the engaging visual talisman of a hundred children and peace
warriors from opposite sides of a bitter conflict hand painting a fifty
foot peace mural in the West Bank of Palestine.
The giant “peace mural” billboard returns to the US to visit a mosque,
a synagogue, and a church before finally being posted on a busy
American highway.
