Directed by Beth Elise Hawk
This delicious documentary follows a group of chefs who take part in a unique food festival in the Israeli city of Haifa. The feel-good – and extremely appetising – message of the film is clear: Arabs and Jews should unite over their shared love of food rather than fighting. Featuring freshly chopped Israeli/Arab salad, exquisite mussakhan (Palestinian roast chicken) and kreplach (Jewish dumplings) made to perfection, Breaking Bread is a mouth-watering film about hope, collaboration and exotic fare.
WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING:
"Breaking Bread is a wonderful film, filled with surprising insights on the cultures of the region, packed with delightful, interesting people determined to bridge the divide between them, and mouth-watering dishes that seem to waft off the screen." - We Are Movie Geeks
"Peace in the Middle East has been an elusive dream for decades, but, Hawk suggests, perhaps the answer is peace through food." - The Australian
