THE OTHER SON is the moving and provocative story of a revelation that turns the lives of these two families upside-down, forcing them to reassess their respective identities, their values and their beliefs. © Pinnacle Films 2012 (Original Title: The Other Son)

Wow - so emotional - takes a "soap opera" cliche and explores it with subtly and emotion. Brings out the political themes without resorting to anything overbearing. Great performance and cast. I was very moved.

Two families one Jewish and the other Palestinian are forced to reconsider their values when each has a child they love who is now also their enemy. There is much to learn and to cope with.
