The Very Narrow Bridge is a journey into the souls of four people – two Jews and two Palestinians – who have lost a child or parent to violent conflict as they transform their grief into a bridge for reconciliation. They all belong to Israeli Palestinian Bereaved Families, a controversial grassroots movement of broken-hearted people, who stand side-by-side to end the violence and build a future based on dignity and equality. Despite fierce political and family opposition, they refuse to give up.
