SYNOPSIS
HOPE IN THE HOLY LAND captures the story of Todd Morehead, an American Christian with a deep love for Israel who sets off on a journey across the Holy Land to confront his indifference toward the Palestinians and to search for the deeper truths behind one of the most perplexing and polarizing conflicts in the world. Along the way, he discovers the painful struggles of Jews, Muslims and Christians on both sides of the Israeli-Palestinian divide. The result is an enlightening journey that exposes viewers to perspectives rarely seen in the media, and a challenge to a man’s heart to love his enemy.
