Description
Todd Morehead, an American Christian with a deep love for Israel, sets off on a journey across the Holy Land to confront his indifference toward the Palestinians and to search for the deeper truths behind one of the most perplexing and polarizing conflicts in the world.
Along the way, he discovers the painful struggles of Jews, Muslims and Christians on both sides of the conflict. The result is an enlightening journey that exposes viewers to perspectives rarely seen in the media, and a challenge to a man’s heart to love his enemy.
The film addresses such questions as…
- Why does the conflict exist?
- Is Zionism a foreign colonization movement?
- Who are the settlers and how do the settlements impact the peace process?
- Why after all of these years has there not been a peace agreement?
- Is the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement helping or hurting those in the Holy Land who want peace?
- Is there any hope for peace?
“How often have you heard—’We need a fresh pair of eyes?’ Todd Morehead provides those eyes for a penetrating look on the deep, often intractable appearing Palestinian-Israel conflict. Watch the film and pass it on!” -Hugh Hewitt, American radio talk show host
“If there is one film you’re going to watch to understand the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, HOPE IN THE HOLY LAND is it!” -Col. Richard Kemp, Former Chief of Command of British forces in Afghanistan
RUN TIME: 111 minutes
LANGUAGE SUBTITLES: Arabic / Hebrew / Mandarin / Russian / Spanish

Highly recommended. I heard about this on the Hugh Hewitt radio broadcast. With the increase in violence between Israel and Hamas, I thought it was time that I learn something (other than what the media is saying) about what is going on in this region. This documentary was very well done in showing the history of this region, how it came to be, and many different viewpoints from both Palestinians and Israelis. It is very eye opening and has taught me much in understanding the conflict that is going on.
This is a must watch for many here in the US and the world. As so many are starting to do (or have done so already), the trust in big media / big tech is greatly waning and the audiences are leaving. So, trying to find something that is fair, shows both sides, and not trying to push an agenda is becoming difficult. This is refreshing in seeing many sides of the story (not just one particular slant or viewpoint) and to show that there is hope in something that could be seen as hopeless.
Doing the right thing – talking to people and trying to get to the truth is HARD. It takes time. It takes effort and determination. You can see it in this production. And, you can see when people trust in God, it opens their heart and opens up so many new possibilities that were otherwise seen as impossible.
I watched it. I am having my family watch it. I am going to share it with my other family members for this is important. Also, it is a scary that what is going on there is starting to happen here in America. We need to educate as many as we can about what is going on there and hopefully, people will realize what is starting to happen here. Just be aware that there are some graphic scenes that are disturbing and there are some non-graphic scenes that are equally disturbing (brainwashing children that it is right and good in stabbing Jews and seeing them talk to reporters saying so). I debated about shielding my child from it, but I felt it was important that they see reality – as ugly or as harsh as it might be. It is the world that is out there and it is happening. We cannot allow America to follow suit.

It was refreshing to see something that was not completely one sided. I liked the “man on the street” type interviews, but my only complaint was that there were no subtitles so I couldn’t tell the answers the people on the street were giving. I could only assume they agreed with what you are saying ?
