We’re reaching out to encourage you to see a documentary that is moving audiences around the world.
There Is Another Way invites us to step into one of the most urgent conversations of our time.
In the midst of darkness, we discover who we truly are.
This film tells the story of a group of visionaries who refuse to surrender to violence and injustice—and in doing so, show that another path is possible: for them, for us, and for all humanity.
Through the lives of former Israeli and Palestinian combatants—members of Combatants for Peace, twice nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize—we experience the choice to break cycles of hatred and violence, and create new possibilities.
Filmed during an escalating conflict and shaped by vérité footage and raw, intimate conversations, There Is Another Way offers no easy answers. Instead, it challenges each of us to reconsider:
Will we choose connection over division? Will we prioritize humanity, safety, and dignity for all?
Audiences are describing a palpable shift after seeing the film.
One viewer shared: “I was Israeli. I was Palestinian. And above all, I was human—that’s the gift of empathy this film so powerfully gives.”
As executive producer Colum McCann writes: “This film is a weapon of peace. If enough people see it, it can change the world.”
There Is Another Way was directed by Stephen Apkon and produced by Marcina Hale, co-founders of Reconsider (Disturbing the Peace, Fantastic Fungi), the nonprofit organization behind the film.
We invite you to experience this extraordinary documentary—and to bring others into the conversation it opens.
