West Bank Story I saw this two nights ago, and died laughing. It's West Side Story---with music and dancing--except it's about two warring falafel stands--one Palestinian and one Israeli. :)
From the slogan at the Kosher King being "the chosen one" to being able to order the "death by chocolate suicide bomber" meal at the Humas Hut, this film shows that if we can laugh at ourselves, even between ancient rivals, there may be a slight chance for peace.
Shown in 112 film festivals, it has won 25 awards, including this year's Oscar for best short live-action film.
If it's coming to a festival near you, see it! I've heard it's available at the iTunes store. This is on my wish list! :)
