Trivia
The film was two weeks away from production on 11 September 2001. The fear that American audiences were no longer interested in international affairs almost prevented the film from being made.

Goofs
When Hannah gives David the bracelet she made containing an Arab prayer for peace, she places it on his left wrist. When he removes it in the next scene, it has jumped to his other wrist.

I haven't seen this movie, but I imagine that it is powerful. I know the character who plays Amir, and I recognize him as an up-and-coming Armenian actor. This is a truly great film for its intention of bringing the raging conflict of the Israeli-Palestine border to a different level; one that can reach many of us but stays true to the original story of these friends. I believe that many of us can relate to this situation, in our daily lives. We also swallow the news media's depiction of the crisis without other information or being able to recognize our own selves anymore. But the Palestinian peoples have much to teach us about humanity in the world and recognizing our place in the creation of it.
