On the streets of New York City in 1946, Jewish-American Bobby Goldman (JJ Feild) becomes best friends with Arab-Muslim Saïd Chahine (Saïd Taghmaoui). But when British-controlled Palestine erupts in war, these two intelligent and compassionate men will find themselves fighting on opposite sides of the historic battle for Jerusalem – the divided holy land whose name literally translates to ‘City Of Peace’. Oscar® nominee Tom Conti (REUBEN, REUBEN) co-stars in this epic saga of conflict, courage, and the fiery dawn of the state of Israel, featuring unforgettable performances by Academy Award® nominee Ian Holm (CHARIOTS OF FIRE) as David Ben-Gurion and Tovah Feldshuh (HOLOCAUST) as Golda Meir.
