Israel's press spokesman under Prime Ministers Ariel Sharon and Ehud Olmert, Ra'anan Gissin, is asked about the lessons for the world from Israel's withdrawal of 8,000 Jewish citizens from Gaza & Samaria to show its commitment towards peace - and the preparedness of the Palestinian Arabs to live peaceably and autonomously alongside the Jewish State of Israel.
"Storm of Emotions," a documentary showing Israel's sacrificing Jewish communities to receive peace from the Palestinians will air on PBS' "Independent Lens" tonight.
In 2005, Israeli police faced the most complicated assignment of their careers—to evacuate other Israelis from the Gaza Strip, perhaps the most contested piece of land in the world. Told from the perspective of the Israeli police force, STORM OF EMOTIONS explores how individuals try to balance their emotions, beliefs and conscience while attempting to maintain civil order.
STORM OF EMOTIONS premieres Tuesday, October 30 on Independent Lens, a weekly series airing on PBS. Hosted by Terrence Howard, the acclaimed series showcases powerful and innovative independent films. Presented by ITVS, Independent Lens is broadcast on PBS stations nationwide.
