Crossing the divide: Cooking with the enemy
2008 July 7
The Independent reports on Good Intentions, an unprecedented television drama series airing on Israel’s Channel Two in which a Palestinian and an Israeli chef co-star in a fictional cooking show. The show’s creators insist that the emotional content of the show engages both Palestinian and Israeli audiences, forcing them to see how the “other side” copes with the conflict. Read why the show’s director says, “What is really important is that the most mainstream Israeli channel you can think of is showing at prime time once a week a drama series in which half the action is set in Ramallah, in Arabic and about a Palestinian family.”
