The Syrian Bride (2004)

Shot on location in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, 'The Syrian Bride' is a powerful film about physical, mental and emotional borders and the courage it takes to cross them. Told with great humor and compassion, its story provides an emotionally stirring look at the human side of political conflict focusing on the hopes and dreams of one family trapped in a no-man's land between two nations.
