  • PROMISES Lesson Plan Understanding History, Religion, and Politics in Jerusalem and Beyond
    PROMISES Lesson Plan Understanding History, Religion, and Politics in Jerusalem and Beyond Grade Level: 7-12 Subjects: History, Language Arts, Behavioral/Social Studies, Sociology Estimated Time of Completion: 3-5 class periods, plus homework preparation Overview: The city of Jerusalem has been the center of controversy for centuries. Current differences involve the struggle between Israel and Palestine for control of the city and the areas known as the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Rather than explore the conflict politically, PROMISES introduces viewers to seven Israeli and Palestinian children ranging in age between 9 and 13 who live with this conflict daily, and who have formed definite opinions about the roles of its participants. Living within 20 minutes of each other, “each growing up in very separate worlds,” these children had never met until filmmaker B.Z. Goldberg brought some of them together for a day. Through the course of the film, we learn that these disparate neighbors share common ideas, opinions, and biases shaped by cultural, religious, and historical influences. Typically, one side blames the other, but unlike adults, these children suggest that a resolution could be possible. After hearing about each other from B.Z., and motivated by curiosity, some of the children prevail upon him to arrange a meeting between the two sides. Voicing their ideas with a candid innocence underscored by the harsh realities of their young lives, these children offer hope that one day this conflict can be peacefully resolved. Through research, class discussion, and writing, students will be able to learn how the controversy came about.

A humanist’s dream.” Julie Salamon, The New York Times Film by Justine Shapiro, B.Z. Goldberg and Carlos Bolado STUDY GUIDE Academy Award Emmy Award Emmy Award Jewish Image Award Nominee BEST OUTSTANDING NFJC CROSS CULTURAL BEST DOCUMENTARY DOCUMENTARY BACKGROUND ANALYSIS PRODUCTION ✦ AN ALA VIDEO ROUNDTABLE NOTABLE VIDEO FOR ADULTS ✦ INTRODUCTORY LETTER FROM THE FILMMAKERS Dear Educator: We thank you for being teachers and for sharing PROMISES with your students and community. We started making PROMISES in 1995 and completed the film in 2001. It is a great honor to report that to date, PROMISES has been seen by more than 7 million people in the U.S. and more than 25 million people worldwide. In the U.S., PROMISES was broadcast nationwide on the PBS series POV in December 2001. Hailed as “extraordinary” (The New York Times) and a “masterpiece” (Jerusalem Post) and celebrated by critics and audiences alike, PROMISES won two Emmy Awards — Best Documentary and Outstanding Background Analysis — and was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Feature Documentary. Recognizing the film’s commitment to presenting the many sides of the Middle East conflict, educators across the country and around the world have embraced PROMISES as a valuable educational tool. In the last two years, the PROMISES Film Project has received hundreds of requests from educators for classroom materials to accompany the film. While screening the film alone has significant educational value, we believe the viewing experience will be greatly enhanced when using the materials in this educational package.

I heard the first from Dr. James Orbinski, the current President of Medecins San Frontieres, or Doctors without Borders.1 It happened while he served as head of the humanitarian group’s mission in Rwanda as the genocide unfolded. When Dr. Orbinski learned that a hospital sheltered several hundred children, but was under control of the Hutus, he went to the Hutu leader in charge and asked to take the children, transfer them to a safer place. The leader said no. Dr. Orbinski asked, “Do you have children?” “Why yes,” the leader replied, proudly pulling out photos. The physician returned to the situation at hand, and said, “but these are children, too.” The Hutu leader replied, “No, they are cockroaches.” The next day, half of the children had been murdered. A recent documentary film, entitled “Promises,” tells the second story.2 The film, co-produced and co-directed by Justine Shapiro and B.Z.
