Perhaps peace in the Middle East is a future possibility? Seeking Peace, Finding Hope is a moving and uplifting documentary that examines the impact of the Gary and Jerri-Ann Jacobs International Teen Leadership Institute (JITLI) – a visionary leadership program of Gary Jacobs, Jerri-Ann Jacobs and Yaccov Schneider, that brings together Jewish and Palestinian teens to form meaningful connections to narrow the gap between the two cultures. There will be a discussion with the producers of the film following the screening.

According to Giovanni Moujaes', Director of the film, "Seeking Peace, Finding Hope documents the intense, stimulating discussions held in Berlin, Germany, where topics such as Gaza, Israel, the Holocaust, Hamas, peacekeeping, and international diplomacy are all addressed along with how such affiliations become rooted in the human element over history. The analysis of such topics call into question the future of millennial relationships and their impact on healthy relations between the two cultures."
