The Other Side
Guestbook Documentary
2016
Sigal Yona, an Israeli Jew, and Anwar Egbarih, a Palestinian citizen of Israel have known each other for two years. In order to better understand some aspect of the other’s life experience, they decided to create an exchange. Each one would wear clothes characteristic of the other culture and they would go together to a public mall in Richon LeZion, a city close to Tel Aviv.
This film was produced by Sigal Yona and Anwar Egbarih in cooperation with Mahapach-Taghir, with support from the Guestbook Project.
