JOY SELA: "The Other"

Send us Fan MailJoy Sela is in the first stages of a career as a filmmaker.  Her first documentary, “The Other,” takes on a topic with so many elements: passion, emotion, history, geography, anger and loss.   The Middle East.   In the spirit of the great documentarian Albert Maysles, Joy Sela puts a mirror up to the many Israelis and Palestinians in the film and listens to their stories of heartbreak and death.  And their stories of small, away from the limelight moments of friendship and a painful but possible path to peace.
