“‘Little Town of Bethlehem’ shares the gripping story of three men,
born into violence, willing to risk everything to bring an end to
violence in their lifetime. A Christian, a Muslim, and a Jew-shaped by
events of their Palestinian and Israeli upbringing-find inspiration in
the words and actions of Martin Luther King Jr. and Mahatma Gandhi.
Sami, Ahmad, and Yonatan believe that violence can indeed be stopped
but recognize their own struggles will remain. Yet they will struggle
together to discover a common humanity through non-violent action. In
the city of Bethlehem where it is said God became man, these men stand
alongside others whose central desire is to be accepted and treated as
fully human.Their story brings fresh hope to the ongoing conflict
between Palestine and Israel while taking a stand against violence
throughout the world.” IMDb
