About
In this gripping short documentary, we follow Rabbi Arik Ascherman for 24 hours in the West Bank as he risks his own safety to protect Palestinian farmers and civilians. Through Arik’s eyes, we witness the harsh realities of daily life in a region marked by violence and political tension.
As a longtime advocate for Palestinian rights, Arik confronts not only the dangers posed by extremist settlers, but also the Israeli military. Since the massacre of October 7, 2023, extremists have used the rising anger in Israel to escalate their attacks and intensify their campaign to displace Palestinians.
The film offers a raw and unfiltered look at Arik’s marginalization and his unwavering commitment to standing in the gap between communities that have long been torn apart by conflict.
