November, 2005, Ahmed Khatib, an eleven year old child was shot dead by the Israeli Defence Forces whilst playing with a toy gun in Jenin, Palestine. His father decided to donate the boy's organs to other children in need of transplants in Israel. The documentary tells the story of Ahmed's father as he goes to Israel to meet the children. One child is a Bedouin Arab, another child is from an Orthodox Jewish family. Through the unselfish actions of one man, we are shown a glimpse of humanity, kindness and suffering of the everyday people of Palestine and Israel as the search for peace remains illusive.
Directed by Lior Geller and Marcus Vetter.
