Filmmakers in person Roni Hirshenzon, a 60-year old Israeli man, has suffered as much as any parent can imagine:  Both of his sons died at age nineteen as a result of violence in the region. Putting hatred and despair aside, Roni co-founded the Parents Circle, a support group for bereaved Israeli and Palestinian families who have lost children to the conflict. ANOTHER SIDE OF PEACE follows Roni's journey to come to terms with the death of his sons and to promote peace. With Ghazi Briegieth, his Palestinian counterpart, he connects with other bereaved parents in Israel and Palestine. Their message to the world:  No More Death.
