Synopsis:
For 10 days in July 2002, 22 Palestinian and Israeli teenage girls came to the United States to participate in a women's leadership program called Building Bridges for Peace. It was an experience that would change some of their lives forever.
My So Called Enemy is a feature-length documentary film about 6 of the 2002 participants and how their transformative experience in the program complicates their lives in the Middle East over the next 7 years. The young women are either Jewish, Christian or Muslim. Some have lost friends and family members. All bear the psychological and emotional scars that come from living in a war zone. The main characters include: Israeli/Jewish Gal and Palestinian/Christian Rezan (the question of their friendship surviving Gal's army service is the emotional through-line of the movie); Palestinian Israeli Hanin, who makes a journey from being a secular to devout Muslim; Palestinian/Muslim Rawan, a feminist searching for her identity, caught between Palestinian and Israeli societies; Palestinian/Christian and pro-Hamas Inas, whose father died because of the second intifada and completely changes in the program, Israeli/Jewish Adi, whose narrative, particularly while in the army, speaks to the many faces of Israel.
