Ali and Robi are the subjects of the new documentary film, "Encounter Point."

"For the first time Palestinians and Israelis are meeting to share their pain. We're meeting about the issues politicians use to justify killing."
-Ali Abu Awwad, Beit Ummar

"So what do you do with this pain? Do you take it and look for revenge and keep the whole cycle of violence going, or do you choose another path to prevent further death and further pain to other parents?"
- Robi Damelin, Tel Aviv
