Frontiers of Dreams and Fears (2001)

Offering a rare glimpse into one side of the Middle East conflict, Frontiers of Dreams and Fears explores the lives of a group of Palestinian children growing up in refugee camps. The film focuses on two teenage girls, Mona and Manar. Although they live in refugee camps miles apart, the girls manage to communicate and become friends despite the overwhelming barriers that separate them. The film reveals their lives, dreams, and growing relationship, at first through email, culminating in their dramatic meeting at the fence that separates them at the Lebanese/Israeli border.
