The Film
In Israel, for the first time, a group of Arab and Jewish parents decide to establish a bi-national, bilingual grade school in the Wadi Ara village. Bridge Over the Wadi follows the school's first year and shows how fragile the attempt is to create an environment of co-existence against the backdrop of the complicated reality of the film's subjects.
