There is Another Way

Stephen Apkon

Dutch premiere

There is Another Way follows the members of Combatants for Peace, a movement of Israeli ex-soldiers and former Palestinian freedom fighters who unite in the pursuit of peace and reconciliation. Despite the devastating reality of violence and division, they refuse to meet hatred with hatred. 

The film explores their personal and collective struggle: is true liberation possible, and can they rethink their beliefs to build a peaceful future? After the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent Israeli invasion, which marks the destruction of Gaza, their mission is under more pressure than ever. 

Director Stephen Apkon highlights the courage it takes to choose reconciliation, even in the face of fear and despair. In a world plagued by conflict, the film poses a pressing question: can we create a future where no one is free until everyone is free?
