Product Description:
Winner of two 2003 Documentary Emmy Awards for Writing and Graphic & Artistic Design. Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon and PLO Chairman, Yasser Arafat: two lives, one history. The cultural conflict and struggle for peace in the Middle East has experienced a long and violent history, one interwoven in the life stories of these two large-than-life figures. While one has spent his life fighting to create the state of Israel, the other has vowed to destroy it. And yet, despite their differences, their careers have very often been mirror images of each other. Their ambitions, betrayals and triumphs have led them along similar paths from war to exile to diplomacy and back to combat. From Israel's War of Independence in 1948, and the bloody battles that marked it, up to the most recent conflicts of 2002, this program examines the Israeli-Palestine conflict through the personalities of the two men currently at its center. Revealing archival footage, shocking glimpses of a region in chaos and insightful interviews with those close to the crisis provide a context for understanding both historical and recent events. Learn how these men have come to represent their nations' identities, why their people have turned to them as leaders, and how their histories have shaped decades of distrust and prejudice.
