First, a short synopsis:

Upcoming Schedule
Although more than a year out-of-date, I think it provided a great view of both sides. I certainly have a better understanding of the Palestinians based on the interviews with the Brigade.
I would recommend anyone wanting a better insight into the Israeli/Palestinian conflict check it out.
In March 2002, with diplomacy deadlocked and violence escalating between Israelis and Palestinians, Oliver Stone sought out interviews with leaders on both sides of the conflict. Over five days, Stone and his documentary film crew traveled the streets of Jerusalem, Tel Aviv and Ramallah, documenting life in the face of daily threats of violence. Without abandoning hope for a peaceful solution, the timely America Undercover documentary special PERSONA NON GRATA offers a thought-provoking, first-hand look at this complex conflict.
Among those interviewed by Stone are former Israeli Prime Ministers Shimon Peres, Ehud Barak and Benjamin Netanyahu; European diplomats Miguel Moratinos and Christian Jeuret; Hasan Yosef, a spokesman for the political wing of Hamas; and a group of masked fighters from the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade.
